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.
Rumors had circulated last week that the younger Guzmán would plead guilty to avoid trial for several drug trafficking charges in the U.S. after being extradited in 2023.
Wild, this is like an episode of Ozark.
So, now he is importing criminals? What kind of deal would a drug cartel strike with the White House?
“We will let you have asylum in the states for an unlimited supply of top shelf, premium cocaine.”
Edit: read the article first. It’s still ironic…
During the campaign: promising to deport criminal immigrants.
After election: deport immigrants who get speeding tickets. Bring drug cartel members to US.
He just doesn’t want to get murdered by the cartels. I doubt this would stop them, though.
Hmm I thought Trump was all about ending the cartels/fentanyl trade. Guess not?

Something something border something immigrants, transs!! Clown country.
This is the result of a plea deal. Guzman has been informing on his former connections and it is not unreasonable to expect the cartels to target his family.
More info for those curious. Seems it’s part of some plea deal.
