Because Biden is visiting Mexico soon, Mex Pres. AMLO decided to arrest El Chapo's son, Ovidio

CDS and rival cartels have laid siege to Culiacan, where Ovidio is being held.

The cartels have also declared Culiacan a "no fly zone" to keep Ovidio from being flown out.

The cartels have escalated this into a full blown battle by deploying MANPADS to enforce the "no fly zone".

A Mexican Air Force CASA C-295 was hit and almost shot down today.

"Alleged cartel members carjacked residents' cars, set vehicles ablaze and intermittent gunfire could be heard into the afternoon, as Mexico authorities warned people to stay inside and airports in several Sinaloa cities remained closed."

Just days before U.S. President Joe Biden's visit to Mexico, the country was thrown into chaos as alleged cartel members blocked off a northern Mexico airport, areas outside a local army base, and limited major access to the city of Culiacan, in an unsuccessful effort to thwart the capture of drug trafficker Ovidio Guzmn, son of infamous Sinaloa drug lord known as "El Chapo."

Mexican security forces captured Guzmn an alleged drug trafficker who is wanted by the U.S. for his involvement in the cartel's activities, in a predawn operation Thursday.
