SPARKY January 5 Share January 5 Also worth noting that another major capo 'El Neto' was killed in Cuidad Juarez yesterday. For sure I expect the Sinaloa violence to spill over into Baja California as they have a strong presence here. 4 Link to comment

If I remember correctly it was the threats to the families that prompted his release. 1 Link to comment
TJ Flyer January 6 Share January 6 Sinaloa Governor not happy that he wasn't told in advance about the military operation. But, no surprise, as he is most likely compromised. Surprised the government didn't have more Marine and Army units pre-positioned to respond to the Cartel blockcades, etc. Question now is did the Cartel take some hostages again to try and force AMLO to cave yet again? 2 1 Link to comment

Last time they threatened civilians because they knew it was a bargaining chip to release him from the jail right there in the city. This time he’s not in the city anymore so there’s no simple “meet at the sticks in the road and swap prisoners” deal like they could do last time 3 Link to comment

Shows you as well who really runs the country. (Edit: I wonder how much, if any, of this has to do with Biden's visit to DF next week. Is there a "timing" involved with this?)

Carlafan January 6 Share January 6 11 minutes ago, SPARKY said: Never understood why kids in mexico go to law school when its' such a lawless country! It's to save face. Remember that Mexico is a "show me" place, meaning that presentation rules due to their class structure. It doesn't look good if little Roberto, the son of a leading engineer/architect/whatever, is a layabout playboy when Dad has such high status and therefore privilege. So they send him (rather than him willingly going) to law school. They get in on the take as well. But they better play on the right side of the field. How many abogados have "disappeared"? The child is a trophy in Mexican culture. Being a lawyer makes the parent look good, regardless of how the kid feels about it. It keeps the status going. 2 Link to comment

c-diddy January 7 Share January 7 Extradition of ‘El Chapo’ son to the US halted after 29 killed in arrest operation By Elizabeth Plaza, Kiarinna Parisi, Mitchell McCluskey and Tara John, CNN Updated 12:54 AM EST, Sat January 7, 2023 (CNN) A Mexico City federal judge halted the extradition of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán’s son, alleged drug cartel leader Ovidio Guzmán, to the United States on Friday, a day after he was arrested in an intense operation in northern Mexico that led to the deaths of 29 people. The US is seeking Guzmán’s extradition for drug trafficking and has offered up to $5 million for information leading to the capture of the man they say is “a senior member of the Sinaloa Cartel.” On Thursday, Mexico’s Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard confirmed that there is an arrest warrant in the US dated September 19, 2019, but said the possible extradition of Guzmán would not be immediate due to the formalities of the law. He also stated that Guzmán has ongoing legal proceedings in Mexico. According to the Televisa network and other Mexican media, another federal judge later ordered Guzmán to stay in 60 days of preventive detention for the purpose of extradition after a hearing at the Altiplano maximum security federal prison where he is being held. CNN has requested a response from Guzmán’s defense but has not yet heard back. 3 1 Link to comment
