Overview

  • Mexican authorities confirmed that 17 family members of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán crossed from Tijuana to San Diego on special residence permits.
  • The relocation is tied to an alleged deal between Ovidio Guzmán López, currently incarcerated in the U.S., and the U.S. Justice Department.
  • Ovidio is expected to plead guilty in Chicago and provide testimony against other cartel leaders as part of the agreement.
  • The move is seen as a protective measure to shield the family from potential reprisals by rival Sinaloa cartel factions amidst ongoing violent clashes.
  • Mexican Security Minister Omar García Harfuch stated that the relocated family members, including El Chapo’s ex-wife Griselda López, are not under investigation.
