Mexico’s security chief confirmed Tuesday that 17 family members of cartel leaders crossed into the U.S. last week as part of a deal between a son of the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel and the Trump administration.

Mexican Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch confirmed a report by independent journalist Luis Chaparro that family members of Ovidio Guzman Lopez, who was extradited to the United States in 2023, had entered the U.S.

Guzmán Lopez is one of the brothers left running a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel after notorious capo Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán was imprisoned in the U.S. Video showed the family members walking across the border from Tijuana with their suitcases to waiting U.S. agents.

    The megaprison gets mexicans out of the country and out of Mexico.

    Cartel organizations had been classified as a terrorist sect recently. Combined with this, methinks he’s plotting the same thing as Israel funding Hamas and then creating a crisis for which to occupy or invade.

    Why would anyone genuinely believe the thought of them attacking Canada? Mexico has had their aggression for years and suddenly the buddy buddy neighbor is the target? It’s clear smoke.

    Mexico as an identity separates a lot of the social structure and erasing it would be easier to amalgamate into the USA. Hence the gulf renaming.
