Really. Headline is definitely misleading.
Perhaps not. Perhaps Mexico has no legal definition of “martial law” as does the United States.
Here’s the Wikipedia definition, which seems reasonably accurate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law
“Martial law is the system of rules that takes effect when the military takes control of the normal administration of justice.”
One could argue that is precisely what is now happening in Ciudad Juarz. They just don’t call it that.

Are you sure about that? The reporter seemed to be trying to make it clear that “what we in america would call martial law” as if that’s not what it is called down in mexico.
There are a few other stories contained at post 1. Al-Reuters is reporting that “Mexico army to take over policing in drug-hit city”.
Instead of searching for mexico martial law, search for juarez military
