An act of defiance from villagers in Mexico against the notorious Familia Michoacana Cartel has led to retaliation from the infamous criminal organization as gunmen kidnapped 14 residents.
Border Patrol has been finding ways to detect drugs smuggled across the U.S.-Mexico Border for decades now. However, drug cartels have been innovative in their efforts to smuggle illegal drugs like fentanyl, meth, and cocaine across.

They are searching along the border between Michoacan and Colima, an area where Mexican cartels like the dreaded Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) continue to vie for territory.
