Canadians in Mexico advised to take shelter as cartel violence breaks out in streets
Nineteen roadblocks were set up by the cartel in an unsuccessful attempt to stop Guzman from being flown by authorities to Mexico City, where he remains in custody.
The local government in Sinaloa urged people to stay indoors and said schools and administrative offices were closed due to the violence. The U.S. State Department also advised Americans not to travel to the region. “There was a shootout at the airport so the airports are shut down and the cartel put their warriors outside the hotel. I just know my brother and his family are stuck in the hotel right now.”Dahl has no phone line through to the hotel, she said, but she has been able to communicate with her family through Facebook.
Dahl quoted from a note written by her sister-in-law: “When it first happened, they said ‘we’d try and get you on a flight at 2 o’clock tomorrow.'”
