SINALOA, Mexico—On the outside, the house looks like a regular middle class home in a suburban family neighborhood in Culiacán, Sinaloa. A minivan is parked outside, the front yard is clean, and a kid’s bicycle sits on the lawn.
The inside tells a different story altogether. Where you would typically find a dining room is a large wooden table littered with dozens of flasks, measuring instruments, chemical containers, and a handgun.
This is where some fentanyl deliveries from Mexico to the U.S. begin.
