Consul (Bruno Figueroa) filled vacuum of silence – San Jose, California

“Not too long ago, I invited Bruno Figueroa, the Mexican governments top representative in Silicon Valley, to try the mole sauce at La Milpa in Milpitas. The handsome young diplomat said the chocolate and chili sauce was the best he’d tasted here, but still a notch below the moles in the Valley of Mexico.

Now, the consul general is knee-deep in a spicy, international mole.

Figueroas pointed, public criticism of the San Jose Police Department for abuse of Mexican nationals and Latinos was probably unprecedented for someone in his position. His defense of a local Mexican businessman accused of resisting arrest may ignite a cross-border debate over the treatment of immigrants, but also over foreigners meddling in local affairs.”
