How will Mexico's new president Claudia Sheinbaum tackle the spiral of cartel violence and political corruption? We know that the U.S. keeps outsourcing drug violence and guns to its Latin American neighbors, a fact that destabilizes the region and leads to more migration. Author and journalist Ioan Grillo is back on the podcast to talk about the balance between cracking down on gangs while not contributing to blanket militarization. They talk about why the right loves Bukele in El Savador and what steps Democrats could take to change the narrative.
