Overview

Arrest Of Ovidio Guzmán refers to the highly publicized event in which Ovidio Guzmán López, the son of incarcerated kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán, was arrested by Mexican authorities on January 2023.

Background

On January 5th, 2023, CNN news[1] reported that Mexican authorities arrested the son of notorious kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán.[2] The intense operation in northern México culminated in a series of violent acts across México, which led to the deaths of 29 people.[3]

Developments

Cartel Response To The Arrest

With the arrest of Ovidio Guzmán, people in the city nearby woke up to a new wave of violence in the streets, with blockades and shootings between security forces and members of organized crime. As the events started to gain virality on social media, some memes also began to be shared, like the post uploaded by Twitter[4] user @chuchinj showing how journalists, TV show writers and the rival cartel reacted to the news. The tweet, seen below, gained 201,300 views and 4,200 likes in one day.

Other videos, like one posted by Twitter[5] user @crisoiraheta on January 6th, 2023, joke about the cartel's men going to rescue Guzmán. The tweet garnered 40,300 views and 589 likes in less than 24 hours (seen below).

The news was also trending on TikTok, with users posting actual footage of the cartel's response, like the footage of passengers on the floor after some men started to fire against the plane in Culiacán, México. The video below, uploaded to TikTok[6] by @moneymarlow, earned over 148,000 likes and 3,200 shares in one day.

Those in Mexico who feel the presence of cartel violence have been making numerous memes about going about their own daily lives during a cartel war. A meme by Twitter[8] user @crisfg0221 jokes about dressing up with combat gear and advanced weaponry to leave the house in search of tortillas.
