Train exhibit

Cartel training

Some of the icons and candles Mexican drug cartel members use they believe will protect them from law enforcement. The man sitting in the throne is Saint Jesus Malverde, a folk hero who is Mexico’s equivalent to Robin Hood. Malverde stole from the rich and gave to the poor in the community, a tactic drug cartels use who give back to the community and also pay off police departments to continue their criminal activity.
