Texas’ Blood Lust Causes Diplomatic Crisis, Puts Americans at Risk

Execution of Mexican National has Devastating Implications

The United States is a signatory to an international treaty–the Vienna Convention–that requires any other nation that is a party to that treaty, when a US citizen is arrested in that nation, to advise that US citizen of her right to assistance from US diplomats at the nearest American diplomatic outpost.
