Mexican civil servants confirm that members of the Sinaloa cartel family have entered us in the Trump deal

The Mexican officials said on Wednesday that 17 family members of drug cartridges came to 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.

The Mexican Security Secretary Omar García Haröuch confirmed a report by the independent journalist Luis Chaparro that family members of Ovidio Guzmán López joined the US son of Sinaloa Kartell boss Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.

Guzman's former wife Griselda López Pérez was among the family members who allowed them to the USA.

In a radio interview, García Haröuch said that it was clear to the Mexican authorities that the deal was completed during the negotiations between Guzmán López and the US government.

“It is obvious that his family goes to the USA because of a negotiation or an offer that the Ministry of Justice gives him,” said García Harfen.

None of the family was persecuted by Mexican authorities.

Video material, which was published online by Spanish outly radio on Tuesday, shows Guzmán's family with luggage while waiting to be edited at the Tijuana/San Diego border crossing. You supposedly packed 70,000 US dollars in cash.

The confirmation by García Harfin came on the same day when the office of the US general Prosecutor Pam Bondi announced that it has been charged with “narcoterrorism” for the first time since the Trump administration since the Trump government explained a number of cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

“Leave me directly to the leaders of the Sinaloa cartel, they are no longer the hunters, they are hunting,” said US lawyer Adam Gordon for the southern district of California. “They are revealed by their friends, they are persecuted by their enemies and they will be here in a courtroom in the southern district of California and their face here.”

Guzmán López, 35, also known as “The Mouse”, is one of the four of Guzmán's sons who are known as “Los Chapitos” who led the Sinaloa cartel in the absence of her father. At its peak, the older Guzmán was one of the most powerful drug dealers in the world and converted the Sinaloa cartel into a great force and one of the largest groups that are responsible for illegal drugs that flow into the USA
