Alleged cartel members blocked off an airport, areas outside an army base and limited major access to the city of Culiacan, in an unsuccessful effort to thwart the capture of drug trafficker Ovidio Guzmán, son of the infamous drug lord known as 'El Chapo.'
Just days before U.S. President Joe Biden's visit to Mexico, the country was thrown into chaos as alleged cartel members blocked off a northern Mexico airport, areas outside a local army base, and limited major access to the city of Culiacan, in an unsuccessful effort to thwart the capture of drug trafficker Ovidio Guzmán, son of infamous Sinaloa drug lord known as"El Chapo."
Both drug trafficking as well as stemming migration are expected to be major topics of conversation among the leaders. The White House did not immediately provide comment on whether there were concerns about the security situation in the region and if that might impact Biden's upcoming trip, during which he is also expected to spend time at the border.Guzmán has been heavily involved in the cartel's production of illegal fentanyl, which has helped fuel an epidemic of drug use and deaths in the U.S.
López Obrador said at the time he wanted to avoid the loss of life, even though the U.S. was seeking Guzmán extradition on drug trafficking charges. He was indicted in 2018 by a grand jury in Washington, along with a fourth brother, for the alleged trafficking of cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana.
