When Joey traveled to Mexico to celebrate his grandmother’s 103rd birthday, he expected a weekend of family and celebration. Instead, he found himself under shelter-in-place orders after the reported killing of a major cartel leader sparked violence, burning roadblocks, and blocked highways across parts of the country.
