Capture of the leader from the most violent drug organization in Mexico


Finally, “the leader of one of Mexico’s most violent and feared drug organizations was captured today in a city across the border from Texas” (NY Times). The leader of this drug organization named, Treviño, has been wanted by both the United States and Mexican marines. However, there are no guarantees that everything will be solved.  As mentioned in the article, the arrest could lead to further fragmentations of the gangs, which would reduce their ability to threaten state authority but might lead to further violence.

When I first heard about this news, I was relieved that the drug organizations will reduce because now that the highest leader of the gang was caught. However, there will be more tension between the United States/ Mexican marines to the drug organization gangs.  Indeed, the government should be stricter around the boarders to protect the future drug dealing. The illegal drugs purchase are growing and this crisis is dangerous for people of all ages, so it must be stopped. Although it is hard to protect the illegal drug purchase, United States should contraband any selling of drugs.

In conclusion, I think that the capture of Treviño will reduce the formalization of gangs, furthermore, less people will get involve in an organization like this. They should know that one day, they will get caught and will face a serious consequences. As far as the article, the author structure the article well. There were consequences that might lead because of the capture of Treviño. Also, it didn’t focus too much about the violent topics, so it was easy to follow and an interesting article.

  2. You did a good job on stating your opinion about the passage and thoroughly examining the article. It is good to hear that Trevino got arrested as it may stop the temptation of drug activity from other people doing the same. Hopefully people do realize the consequences of drug dealing and stop immediately.

  3. I believe that you really don't need to add the information in the 1st paragraph since it is just summarizing some of the article. But I must say that I too am relieved to hear that Trevino has been arrested, for it will reduce the drug activity, though maybe not by too much.

  4. I agree with your sentiment that the capture of this notorious drug leader will put several organizations in jeopardy and direct scrutiny of authorities, since they have ideas from the capture of this leader. Your commentary is well written and has few grammar mistakes, but you may want to expand more on the consequences you touched upon. In addition, as it is mentioned in the article, how does this affect Mexico's law enforcement? All in all great work, just a bit more in-depth evaluation of the article is needed and your commentary should be quite on par with what PACE expects!
