American Woman Stranded in Mexico After Cartel Leader's Death
A Grand Rapids woman vacations in Mexico when Mexican forces kill cartel boss El Mencho, leader of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, sparking widespread violence. Cartel members retaliate by setting vehicles and buses ablaze, blocking highways, and disrupting travel, stranding several Americans including her family. She stays in a safe spot but faces flight delays lasting four to five days and a risky hour-long drive past fiery roadblocks to the airport.
