In pursuit of their failed kingpin strategy, the US has enabled more chaos and disorder just to smear the entire country of Mexico’s prioritization of social development over brutish supply side interdiction.
With the arrest of El Mayo, the US has lost sight of the importance of slow but steady justice just to please the agenda of an out of control Drug Enforcement Agency that constantly enables the most sociopathic factions of any cartel in exchange for high profile arrest that do little actually address problematic addiction in the United States.
Capricousness Enables Worst Elements While Stripping Reason From Illicit Businesses
The United States has always been reckless when it comes to negotiations with known criminals. There are always factions, and the US has no right to decide in favoring criminals solely for information at expense of a wider amount of collateral damage. In a recent interview with Grillonautas, a Mayo operative close to both the capo and other security teams under the now arrested capo set the record straight.

The Ongoing Turf War in Sinaloa: The Mayiza vs. The Chapitos
Case in point, the consistent rumor now confirmed by alleged members of El Mayo’s faction of the Cartel de Sinaloa is that their leader was indeed kidnapped by the sons of El Chapo, who are likely going against their father’s wishes.
In recent weeks, Culiacán, Sinaloa has become a hotspot of violence as two powerful criminal factions, known as “La Mayiza” and “Los Chapitos,” vie for control. The confrontation has sparked significant concern among local residents, with increasing reports of shootings and casualties during clashes that have left the community in fear.
A Community in Fear
Most US intelligence agencies will openly declare that collateral damage is OK so long as the semblance of preserving American lives can be maintained. The premise seems to want to appeal to American exceptionalism, but even if this is possible, this is likely cover for disastrous choices that likely sow instability on both sides of the border.
For now, it is people in Cuiliacan, Sinaloa, who must deal with the consequences of a poorly calculated arrest. Residents of Culiacán report feeling terrorized as they navigate their daily lives, fearing for their safety while trying to go to work, take their children to school, or run their businesses. There is a palpable sense of hopelessness as the violence disrupts not only the social fabric but also the economy of Sinaloa, with many businesses shuttering due to the risks associated with the ongoing turf war.
While discussions around the conflict continue on social media, with many expressing a mix of fear and frustration, the fate of organized crime in Sinaloa remains uncertain as La Mayiza and Los Chapitos clash for dominance but the actual targets of the Mayo clan are unlikely to be in Sinaloa still.
Local governance, public safety, and community resilience will be crucial in determining the future of Culiacán and its residents amidst this pervasive violence.
On a recent date, the UAS (Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa) announced that it would continue virtual classes in Culiacán and nearby municipalities due to concerns over safety stemming from ongoing narcoviolence. This significant decision reflects the severity of the security issues impacting the community.
In recent weeks, the violence in Culiacán, Sinaloa, has reached alarming levels, prompting widespread outrage and demands for action. Various social media conversations highlight the stark contrast between public reactions to isolated incidents and the rampant insecurity plaguing the city. Criticism is directed towards President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) for what many perceive as his failure to address the escalating violence in Culiacán and other regions in Mexico. This is surely wrong footed as the security concerns have a deeper presence in the region that has spanned multiple (and very complicit) presidencies and governorships.
