Read this message below on Puerto Penasco Facebook page.
Is this true or can anyone elaborate on this?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

"Had an “interesting” experience today, upon crossing the Lukeville border en route to Puerto Penasco. We’re were asked to que behind other vehicles in order to be escorted through the town of Sonoyta by the policia municipal. It was explained that we should follow the pilot police vehicle through town, in order to avoid speeding or other violations by local police. We were escorted, and advised not to stop at stop signs or worry about speed or traffic, until released by pilot car. Ques we’re approximately 10-20 cars in length"

I crossed heading north at 8:45 this morning. No pilot cars. Also no cops on the south end of town. Half a mile from the border a Sonyota cop passed me at 50 mph red lights and sirens. When I got to the border there were two Sonyota cops and at least a dozen National Guard officers at the inspection checkpoint heading south. Someone was caught with something. There was no line coming in at that point but by the time I got past Why it was getting solid coming down.

Just read this- maybe this is why:
"A long-time drug lord responsible for the murder of a U.S. DEA agent in 1985 is behind a recent spike in violence in northwestern Mexico, just south of Arizona. The drug lord is currently on the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s Most Wanted list. Rafael Caro Quintero, one of the drug lords behind the murder of DEA Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, is at the center of a fierce turf war with his former allies in the Sinaloa Cartel.

On Monday, a cartel strike team aligned with Caro Quintero hung a body from a highway overpass next to a banner claiming that police were working with a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel known as “Los Salazar,” Proceso Magazine reported. On the same day, authorities found two other bodies wrapped in blankets in the city of Guaymas.

The hanging comes at a time when cartel enforcers known as “La Plaza,” part of Caro Quintero’s organization, are carrying out killings statewide as they fight groups tied to the Sinaloa Cartel — particularly the sons of jailed kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.

Sonora Governor Alfonso Durazo continuously posts on social media about efforts by officials to restore peace, however, the rival cartels continue a bloody turf war with little interference.

Last month, a convoy of gunmen from the Sinaloa Cartel known as “La Chapiza” invaded the border town of Caborca, El Sol de Hermosillo reported. The gunmen killed at least one person, kidnapped several others, and shot up houses during a 24-hour period. By the time the gunmen left, authorities still had not responded.

Caro Quintero was a top leader with the Guadalajara Cartel and spent years in prison for his role in the 1985 murder of Camarena. However, a Mexican judge released Quintero in 2013 under a questionable ruling and did not give the United States a chance to request extradition. Since his release, the drug lord returned to the trade and settled in Sonora, where he set up his own organization."

Caborca is getting scary- this is from Feb: https://www.elsoldehermosillo.com.mx/policiaca/balacera-en-caborca-sicarios-infunden-terror-con-disparos-este-miercoles-7870344.html
