It started when a drug cartel boss escaped jail. Government mobilized _everything_ to find him. Police, army, searches.
Curfews were introduced.

Now the cartel is pretty much in open warfare against the government.
A minute's thought suggests that the very idea of this is stupid. A more detailed examination raises the possibility that it might be an answer to the question "how could the Germans win the war after the US gets involved?" - Captain Seafort, in a thread proposing a 1942 'D-Day' in Quiberon Bay
