One of Mexico's most feared drug gang leaders, Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, escaped from prison on Saturday night in a daring jailbreak that involved an underground tunnel and a motorbike.
The whole thing is pretty embarrassing for the Mexican government, especially since this is the SECOND time El Chapo has escaped from prison.
Of course, the prison break comes after a week in which the U.S. media has been writing a lot about Mexico, thanks to Donald Trump.
The billionaire turned Republican contender for president has incensed Latinos in recent weeks with his provocative comments about Mexican criminals and rapists entering the U.S.
Of course, Twitter users being Twitter users, people were quick to start drawing connections between the stories.

Some joked El Chapo had broken out in order to defend "his people."
