A fresh documentary delves into the intricate web of how Americans supply arms to Mexican cartels, shedding light on a complex issue.
In a tragic incident, a state police officer and her two bodyguards fell victim to a highway attack in Michoacan, Mexico.
The state Civil Guard members, including regional police commander Cristal GarcÃa Hurtado, were brutally killed in the line of duty, with one victim reportedly decapitated.
The Michoacan state prosecutor’s office is currently investigating the incident.
Michoacan has been plagued by gang violence, with clashes between the Jalisco New Generation cartel and local gangs like the Viagras causing widespread displacement and employing tactics such as drone attacks and improvised explosive devices.
The recent killings add to the escalating violence in the region, with politicians also becoming targets ahead of national elections.
