The ongoing battles between the Sinaloa Cartel and the Mexican army have ostensibly made Mexico’s border towns war zones, as Newsmax’s border correspondent Jaeson Jones has reported for months.
The criminal organizations that are well-funded to help get migrants to the U.S. border in crossings like Lukeville, Arizona, and El Paso, Texas, are funding the criminal organizations that battle any law-and-order efforts on behalf of the Mexican army, according to reports.
The cartels are using AK-47s and AR-15s to fight border authorities, causing gunfights that even forced the international bridge to shut down for days.
“This last one was probably the most publicized because the videos made it to mainstream news, but it is not the first one,” Joel Pérez, a Sonoyta, Mexico, resident said in a recent interview.
