Soon someone finally realized these informants did not provide informations about El Chapo’s whereabouts but rather “handing over what seems like ever more vital information, mostly about the Sinaloa cartel’s enemies” (para. 16). As a result, with the help of his beneficial materials, Loya-Castro’s indictment was thrown out (para. 22). “[This is how] Guzmán’s forces manipulate American law enforcement to their own benefits” (para. 7).…

    Si eres pobre te humilla la gente/si eres rico te tratan muy bien/un amigo se metió a la mafia/porque pobre ya no quiso ser/ahora tiene dinero de sobra/por costales le pagan al mes (Los Tucanes de Tijuana, 2002). “El Centenario” performed by the famous Mexican regional band, Los Tucanes de Tijuana, narrates the story of a humble worker whose social position produced multiple encounters of humiliation (2002).
