Can you tell me current issues related to the cartel in Mexico?
<|assistant|>
Current issues related to the cartel in Mexico include drug trafficking, organized crime, drug-related violence, and corruption. Drug trafficking remains a major source of income for the cartel, and the profits from this trade enable them to carry out criminal activities, such as extortion and money laundering. The resulting violence has led to thousands of deaths and destabilized large parts of the country, with innocent civilians being frequently victims. Corruption, which has been found to have ties to both the government and the cartels, has further contributed to the instability in the country.
