AMLO ended the drug war and established a National Guard, but violence continues to plague the nation: the government was forced to call off the arrest and extradition of Ovidio Guzmán López, son of notorious drug lord “El Chapo” Guzman, after the city of Culiacan, Sinaloa, was laid siege to by members of the Sinaloa Cartel; and three women and six children, all Mexican-American citizens and members of the LeBarón family were killed by presumed drug dealers in Sonora near the Mexico-United States border on November 4, 2019.
