In the quaint town of San Gregorio Chamic, Frontera Comalapa, Chiapas, a scene that could have been ripped right out of a Hollywood movie played out. Only, this was no movie. This was reality – stark and in broad daylight.
Imagine this: a caravan of armed men, speculated to be from the notorious Sinaloa Cartel, driving into town in a proud parade of pickup trucks. Their path? The road connecting to the municipal capital, which also borders Guatemala. Their attire? Hooded figures donning high-powered weapons and bulletproof vests. Their soundtrack? Cheers and shouts of “Pure Sinaloa!” from the local populace.
