Mexican security chief confirms cartel family members entered US in a deal with Trump administration
- Mexican authorities arrested Ovidio Guzmán López, son of El Chapo, in a large-scale operation in 2023 that led to at least 29 deaths before his extradition to the US in September 2023.
- The arrest follows a failed 2019 attempt where Ovidio was released on orders from then-President López Obrador to stop violence, and Ovidio later went into hiding before being arrested again.
- Ovidio and his three brothers, known as 'Los Chapitos,' face US charges related to leading drug trafficking operations for the Sinaloa Cartel, which their father co-founded.
- Mexico’s Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch confirmed that 17 of Ovidio’s relatives entered the United States recently as part of a negotiation linked to a plea deal opportunity with the US Department of Justice, though Ovidio's attorney called this claim a fabrication.
- This development suggests ongoing negotiations in the US case against the Guzmán family, while others like cartel co-founder El Mayo deny any surrender and describe family members' US entry as a forced kidnapping.
