The situation in Mexico is caliente. There’s a showdown going on between the Mexican government and the infamous Sinaloa cartel, with the cartel issuing an ultimatum to the government: Release El Chapo’s son, Ovidio Guzmán, or the city will burn.

The cartel is worried about Ovidio Guzmán ending up in US custody:

On Thursday (Jan. 5), Mexican officials took Ovidio Guzmán, the son of renowned (yet jailed) drug cartel kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, into custody. The arrest has subsequently caused a wave of violence in Sinaloa state and surrounding areas, just days before President Biden is expected to visit.

In a statement to Reuters, Sinaloa state Governor Ruben Rocha informed the outlet that since Ovidio’s detainment, seven members of Mexico’s security forces have been killed and 21 others were injured. The area where Ovidio was captured was previously run by El Chapo’s notorious Sinaloa Cartel. In addition to the deaths and injuries, authorities have recorded 25 acts of looting, and approximately 250 vehicles have been set on fire and used as roadblocks. The city of Culiacan is also facing violence that has prompted residents to stay put and schools and businesses to close their doors.

This is big.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Mexican forces acted responsibly to look after the civilian population and avoid innocent victims. No civilian deaths have yet been reported.

It is quite amazing how fake politicians like Mitch McConnell prioritize feeding into the Ukraine war machine when de facto civil war is erupting right on our southern border.

President Trump by contrast has repeatedly called for the Praetorian Guard to make itself useful and actually go to war with the Cartels:

Former President Trump said Thursday that if elected again as commander in chief, he will deploy U.S. special forces and other military assets to “inflict maximum damage” on cartels crossing the southern border.

Of course there might be some, shall we say, sensitive factors prohibiting our ability to go to war with the Cartels…
