"Mexican Detectives Vanish While Searching for Missing Students"

Two federal detectives searching for 43 missing students in Mexico's Guerrero state have disappeared, prompting President López Obrador to launch a search effort. The disappearances highlight the breakdown of law and order in the state, where drug cartels are active. Guerrero has been plagued by the case of the missing students since 2014, and tensions have flared between the president and the students' families, who accuse him of not doing enough to investigate. The involvement of drug cartels in the region has led to a situation where parts of the country are effectively under their control, as acknowledged by the US director of national intelligence.
