A Mexican drug cartel leader shared a video message fighting back tears and vowing revenge after his mother was captured by security forces this weekend. María Ortiz - the mother of Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel leader Jose 'El Marro' Yépez - was arrested during a major security operation in the city of Celeya in Mexico's bloodiest state, Guanajuato. They did not name the Santa Rosa cartel or its leader. On Monday, López Obrador countered by advising residents not to align themselves with El Marro and the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel. Yépez also said he had enlisted the services of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán's old Sinaloa Cartel in his latest attempt to defeat the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
