Mexico - January 2024
Introduction
The first piece in this January 2024 issue of the Latin American Regional Report: Mexico begins with the 22 November capture by Mexico’s national guard (GN) of the alleged security enforcer of Los Chapitos, the faction of the Sinaloa drug trafficking organisation (DTO) that the US claims bears primary responsibility for the production and trafficking of the synthetic opioid fentanyl. The arrest was in line with the apparent habit of Mexico’s security forces of capturing high-profile drug traffickers several days before or after meetings between Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his US counterpart Joe Biden.
