AMLO’s government recently came under attack over his handling of the capture and subsequent release of a high-ranking Sinaloa Cartel member in Culiacan. The son of imprisoned drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was released after authorities determined his capture was not worth the violent retribution occurring in the vicinity.

AMLO campaigned on and is delivering a strategy of promoting social justice and improving living conditions based on beliefs that such actions will help undercut cartel violence overall.
