Joaquin Guzman, the most wanted drug lord in North America, was finally caught over the weekend in a beachside condo. Guzman has avoided recent capture by bribing officers, using safe houses, and using an army of cartel volunteers/helpers. He was the leader of the infamous Sinaloa drug cartel. They say authorities have been closing in on Guzman when Mexican Marines captured him on Saturday. Several other cartel members had been captured before Guzman, two of which they believe provided security to cartel leaders. The key discovery for Mexican authorities and U.S Enforcement Administration were 7 houses that were connected with underground tunnels.

What do I think? I think this is a great discovery for Mexico and the U.S. This helps with security of our nation and enforces the law, and this is a great win for all, but this I know this isn’t the end of the war of illegal substances, because there are many other cartels out there. My friend Olivia agrees. She also thinks it is really funny that Guzman was able to bribe officers. The author had no bias.
