Iowa Senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst are urgently seeking updates from U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar regarding Chris Leguisano, an Iowa woman missing since August 10, who is believed to have been kidnapped for ransom in Tamaulipas. The senators expressed their deep concern for Leguisano's safety in a letter, emphasizing that the U.S. cannot tolerate assaults on its citizens abroad. Leguisano was last seen after traveling to deliver a vehicle and her family has received ransom messages from anonymous sources. This incident marks the second high-profile kidnapping of an American in the region in two years, following an attack in March 2023. The FBI is coordinating with Mexican authorities on the investigation, and the senators have requested a briefing and ongoing updates on recovery efforts. Grassley and Ernst's letter highlights the troubling trend of violence against U.S. citizens in Mexico and calls for justice for Leguisano.
