Overview

  • Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed her government has no official information about the alleged May 9 border crossing of 17 Guzmán family members into the United States.
  • Reports suggest the relatives, including Ovidio Guzmán’s mother and siblings, entered the U.S. under FBI protection, potentially as part of Ovidio’s cooperation agreement with U.S. prosecutors.
  • Ovidio Guzmán, who was extradited to the United States in 2023, is scheduled to change his plea to guilty on July 9 as part of a deal involving his cooperation with authorities.
  • The internal war between Sinaloa Cartel factions, ‘Los Chapitos’ and ‘La Mayiza,’ continues to escalate, with violence linked to leadership struggles and shifting alliances.
  • Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office is requesting details from U.S. officials, emphasizing the need for bilateral coordination on law enforcement actions involving high-profile figures.
