Chapo Isidro's war against the sons of El Chapo

Chivis Martinez for Borderland Beat  From Jalisco Union

It was the Government of the United States that was the first to identify Fausto Isidro Meza Flores, 'El Chapo Isidro' , as one of the Mexican drug lords,  who carries out the largest number of drug trafficking operations in his territory.

But despite having an arrest warrant in the US, the judges of our country were in charge of tearing down the judicial mandate against him and thus avoid, his capture, or facing a trial for his extradition.

Although the legal battle seems to be in his favor, the fight to be the dominant criminal group in the Sonora area is more complicated.

'El Chapo Isidro' faces his former allies of the Sinaloa Cartel, who do not forgive his choosing BLO over El Chapo after the BLO/Sinaloa split.

His group, 'The Mazatlecos',  keeps at bay the cell identified as 'Los Nuevo Salazar', allied with  the

sons of El Chapo, Iván Archivaldo and  Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, who are key to the transfer and production of drugs in the south of Sonora.

The fight between both groups  caused that the rate of homicides in Sonora soaring this year to levels never before seen; situation that worries authorities  but seem to have no strategy to stop the crime.

The population of municipalities such as Cajeme, Guaymas and Navojoa feels the fear of being collateral victims of this war between criminals and they have even pointed out cases where state and municipal police deliver innocents to both groups

'Los Chapitos' do not forgive the other 'Chapo' for his disloyalty to his father.

Meza Flores Organization is known in operation since 2000 and worked for Amado Carrillo , who died in 1997. He allied with BLO after the death of Carillo.

Its main operation center is Guasave, Sinaloa.
