Three recent events worth mentioning:
El Shaka's estate likely to be sued for fraud after he was murdered mere hours after claiming he had not been. He sang narcocorridos "drug balads" and its not like pop music hasn't often had ties to organised crime but still famous crime singers generally don't get killed which shows just how bad things are.
Secondly, drug gangs seem to agree with Right wing politicians that jail is preferable to rehab for drug addicts. In all seriousness the three possible reasons for these attacks all stink of utter desperation on the drug gang's part. Attacks such as these will be deeply unpopular and will weaken the community's willingness to look the other way. Sure they're heavily armed drug gangs with ex-specops enforcers but in the middle of a war and with the state still existent to some degree making yourself literally the devil isn't wise.
Thirdly the ongoing war is harming the democratic process as a front running gubernatorial candidate was assassinated yesterday.
But hey, we gotta keep our kids from taking weed, the consequences for us are far worse than whats happening to those brown people in their country atm!
