The Power Struggle of Mexico's Drug Cartels: An Inside Look

This cartel is believed to have aligned itself with the last remaining son of legendary drug lord El Chapo Guzmán, Archivaldo Guzmán Loera. This alliance appears to be a decisive move in their effort to dominate the expansive drug trafficking route that runs through Tijuana and into California, one of the most critical corridors for drug smuggling into the United States.
