ROSE REID: January 2016. It’s late at night in Los Mochis, in the coastal region of Sinaloa, Mexico, which lies just across the gulf from Baja, California. A late night food order is placed, and a man driving a white van picks up a large order of tacos and brings them back to a compound around midnight. Hours pass. Just before sunrise, fifty soldiers line up around the perimeter and more than a dozen Special Forces Marines from the Mexican Navy prepare to storm the house.
