In a recent CNN interview, correspondent Isobel Yeung engaged with a masked member of the Sinaloa Cartel, who discussed the operational realities of drug production amidst heightened military crackdowns. This discussion follows the U.S. government's classification of various drug gangs as terrorist organizations, a move initiated under President Trump. Yeung questioned the cartel member about his perspectives on violence and ongoing military efforts against drug activities, revealing the complex landscape of safety and crime in Mexico, along with potential ramifications of U.S. policy on local drug trade dynamics.
YEUNG (voice-over): This man is talking to us on the condition we hide his identity and location.
YEUNG: The Mexican military are making a big effort to crack down on the drug production here. How are you responding to that and how does that impact your work?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translation): Right now, all areas are dangerous.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE (through translation): They're doing a good job. There are more of them now, so we have to find a way to keep doing this, to keep working.
