Cartel family members entered the agreement with Trump Admin, confirms the Mexican security chief

Mexico COTO – The Mexican security chief confirmed on Tuesday that 17 members of the Cartel leaders had 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.

Mexican security secretary Omar García Harfuch confirmed a report by independent journalist Luis Chaparro that Ovidio Guzman Lopez family members, who was extradited to the United States in 2023, entered the United States

Guzmán Lopez is one of the brothers who manage a faction of the Sinaloa cartel after the notorious Capo Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán was imprisoned in the American video showed family members crossing the border of Tijuana with their suitcases to wait for American agents.

Rumors had circulated last week that young Guzmán would plead guilty to avoid a trial for several accusations of drug trafficking in the United States after being extradited in 2023.

García Harfuch confirmed the crossing of family members in a radio interview and said it was clear to the Mexican authorities that they did after negotiations between Guzmán López and the US government.

He thought it was the case because the former boss of the cartel, whose lawyer said in January that he had started negotiations with the American authorities, finger at the members of other criminal organizations probably within the framework of a cooperation agreement.

“It is obvious that his family goes to the United States due to a negotiation or an offer that the Ministry of Justice gives him,” said Garcia Harfuch.

He said that none of the family members were prosecuted by the Mexican authorities and that the government of US President Donald Trump “must share information” with Mexican prosecutors, which she has not yet done.

The confirmation of García Harfuch comes the same day as the Office of the American Prosecutor General announced that it was billing for the first time a certain number of senior cartel leaders with the “narcoterism” since the Trump administration declared a certain number of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

While the prosecutors refused to comment on the family’s video, the American lawyer Adam Gordon for the southern district of California and other officials sent a warning to the members of the cartel, repeatedly quoting the Sinaloa cartel by their name.

“Let me be direct, to the leaders of the Sinaloa cartel, you are no longer the hunters, you are hunting.
