Cartel corruption is part of the Mexican presidency

TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - An alleged drug dealer with knowledge of drug shipments involving a brother of Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez convicted this month for drug trafficking, was killed on Saturday in prison, his lawyer said.
Magdaleno Meza, who had been in the El Pozo prison since June 2018 on charges of money laundering, was shot dead during a fight between inmates of the facility, the deputy director of the national penal authority, German McNiel, told reporters.
Meza’s lawyer, Carlos Chajtur, told Reuters his client was attacked by two armed men trying to stop him from talking about the information about drug deals he had in several notebooks in case he was called to testify in the United States.

Cartel bribes are also reaching deep into California politics.

Mexico's president claims he will do fewer drug deals if the US quits sending arms south.  Trump should take the deal a Coasian bargain. Otherwise Trump either has to invade as the Mexican presidency is now intimately involved chemical warfare with the USA.

And believe all the parents who got stuck, this is military grade chemical warfare. A lifetime of disability for the kids who get caught in the mess.
