## Resource

Katarina is on the ground in Mexico, inside the compound of El Mencho just days after the reported raid that killed him. But something doesn’t add up. As she walks the scene, the physical evidence doesn’t match the official story, raising serious questions about what actually happened during the operation. This is a raw, firsthand look at the aftermath and the inconsistencies that could change the narrative.
