Massive Protests Erupt as Mexico Detains Cartel Suspects

Thousands of protesters in Chilpancingo, Mexico, besieged the state capital in response to the jailing of two alleged drug cartel members. The demonstrators clashed with police and national guard troops, taking government employees hostage and crashing an armored vehicle into the legislature. The incident highlights the pervasive grip of crime gangs in many parts of Mexico, despite President López Obrador's efforts to combat drug trafficking through social programs. The protesters, believed to be led by Los Ardillos, one of 16 crime groups in Guerrero, eventually released the hostages and ended their blockade after negotiations with the state government.
