Mexican fashion brand Barragán has ignited backlash with the launch of a jacket directly inspired by the one Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán was wearing when he was first arrested in 1993. The piece, part of a new collection, features a deliberate red stain on the inner lining and was promoted with an AI-generated video depicting a youthful El Chapo in a setting that mimics the Altiplano maximum-security prison. Social media reactions have been sharply divided: many users condemn the brand for glorifying organized crime and profiting off the image of a man responsible for thousands of deaths, while others defend it as a provocative commentary on, or simply a savvy play into, Mexico’s narco-aesthetic. The jacket’s primary reference is the iconic 1993 arrest photograph of Guzmán Loera, an image that has long been mythologized in Mexican popular culture. As of now, Barragán has not released an official statement addressing the controversy.

In Alajuela, Costa Rica, two armed men tried to pull off a robbery on a driver.....big mistake. A black car suddenly stopped on a bridge, and the suspects jumped out, guns drawn, targeting the vehicle behind them. But the driver was quicker on the draw: he pulled his own firearm and opened fire first through the window.

The influencer and adult content creator Nicolette Pardo Molina, widely known online as "La Nicholette" (or "La Muchacha del Salado"), was reportedly kidnapped on January 20, 2026, in the Isla Musalá neighborhood of Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico. The incident occurred in the afternoon near Plaza 11:11 (around 4-5 PM local time), where she was intercepted by armed men, reportedly 2-3 individuals, some appearing quite young, who arrived in a white Toyota Corolla (or similar vehicle). They forced her into their car after a struggle, as captured on video by her own vehicle's cameras. Her distinctive purple (or lilac/morado) Tesla Cybertruck was left abandoned at the scene and later secured by authorities. As of now, her whereabouts remain unknown, with no confirmed updates on her location or condition. The Sinaloa state prosecutor's office has activated the Protocolo Alba (a protocol for locating missing women) to aid in the search. This event has drawn significant attention due to the viral footage and her public profile as a TikTok/Instagram creator, entrepreneur (including a boutique and merchandise like caps), and OnlyFans personality, often recognized for her flashy lifestyle and the custom Cybertruck. Authorities have not released an official motive, though local speculation in some reports mentions possible links to organized crime.
