Mexico’s head of security has confirmed that family members of a former high-profile cartel leader have entered the U.S. as part of an agreement with the U.S. government.
Seventeen family members of the son of the former head of the Sinaloa cartel entered the United States, Mexico’s security secretary confirmed to Mexican media, saying it was apparent that their entrance was part of a deal with the United States government.
The Trump administration has not confirmed whether or not the family’s relocation to the U.S. was part of an agreement with their family member, Ovidio Guzmán López. He’s a son of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán, once one of the most wanted cartel leaders in Mexico.
Guzmán López was extradited to the U.S. in 2023, after leading a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel following his father’s arrest.
