17 family members of the notorious leader of the poster enter the treatment with the Trump administration, says Mexico

The Head of Security of Mexico confirmed on Tuesday that 17 members of the family of the poster crossed the United States last week as part of an agreement between a son of the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel and the Trump administration.

The Mexican Security Secretary, Omar García Harfuch, confirmed a report by the independent journalist Luis Chaparro that relatives of Ovid Guzman Lópezwho was extradited to the United States in 2023, had entered the United States

Guzmán López is one of the brothers who stay with a faction of the Sinaloa cartel after the famous hood Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán was imprisoned in the American video showed family members that crossed the border from Tijuana with their suitcases to the US agents.

The rumors had circulated last week that the young Guzmán would declare himself guilty of avoiding trial for several drug trafficking charges in the United States after being extradited in 2023. Mexican security forces Captured Guzmán Lópezaka “El Mouse”, in January 2023 in Culiacán, capital of the state of Sinaloa.

García Harfuch confirmed the crossing of family members in a radio interview and said it was clear to the Mexican authorities who were doing it after negotiations between Guzmán López and the United States government.

He believed that this was the case because the former head of the poster, whose lawyer said in January that he had held negotiations with the US authorities, had been pointing to fingers to members of other criminal organizations probably as part of a cooperation agreement.

“It is evident that his family will go to the United States due to a negotiation or an offer that the Department of Justice is giving him,” said García Harfuch.

He said that none of the family members were being persecuted by the Mexican authorities and that President Trump’s government “has to share information” with Mexican prosecutors, something he has not yet done.

The confirmation of García Harfuch comes the same day that the office of the United States Attorney General announced that he was accusing several leaders of the main leaders of the “Narcoterrorism” posters for the first time since the Trump administration declared several posters as foreign terrorist organizations.

While prosecutors declined to comment on the video of the family, US prosecutor Adam Gordon for the Southern District of California and other officials sent a warning to the cartel members, repeatedly citing the Sinaloa poster by his name.

“Let me be direct, for the leaders of the Sinaloa cartel, you are no longer the hunter, you are hunted. Your friends will betray you, you will be harassed by your enemies and finally you will find yourself and your face here in a court room in the Southern District of California,” Gordon said.

Also on Tuesday, US officials presented an accusation against two alleged leaders of Sinaloa posters for charges of narcorism, including a Father and son who say that prosecutors directed one of the largest and most sophisticated fentanyl production networks.
