How U.S. Guns and Foreign Thugs Created Mexico's Deadliest Weekend
Foreign drug lords unleash terror as 34 die in four days. Guatemalan gangsters armed with U.S. weapons battle army in Tecpan, exposing shocking reality of international crime syndicates invading Mexican territory.
A storm of violence has gripped Mexico once more. In the picturesque town of Tecpan de Galeana, Guerrero, a region known for its stunning Pacific coastline, four days of sheer terror unfolded this past weekend.

The real number, factoring in the missing souls and those swallowed by the abyss of violence, could be far more staggering.
At the heart of this surge of violence is an increasingly alarming trend. Foreign criminal syndicates are establishing themselves on Mexican soil, and their influence is growing by the day. Tecpan’s bloodshed, it seems, is not merely the product of local disputes but part of a broader narrative: the infiltration of Mexican territory by organized groups from beyond its borders.
