**Families of Sinaloa Cartel Leaders Enter U.S. Amid Legal Deal**
Mexico's security secretary confirms the crossing of cartel family members into the U.S. as rumors suggest a plea bargain with the Trump administration.
The security secretary of Mexico has confirmed that several family members of Sinaloa Cartel leaders have crossed into the United States, raising questions about potential legal agreements with the Trump administration. Reports surfaced last week that 17 relatives, including the ex-wife of notorious crime boss Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, arrived in Tijuana before entering the U.S.
This significant move follows mounting tension within the Sinaloa Cartel, a powerful criminal organization grappling with internal divisions and legal woes as authorities clamp down on its leadership. President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico commented on the situation, stating there was no further information beyond what was previously known.
However, security secretary Omar García Harfuch elaborated that the relatives of Ovidio Guzmán López—one of El Chapo's sons, who was extradited to the U.S. in 2023—had indeed surrendered to American authorities. García Harfuch suggested that the families might be negotiating with the U.S. Department of Justice, hinting at a plea bargain that could provide them with a form of protection.
The situation remains fluid as this development unfolds and could have significant implications for the ongoing fight against drug trafficking and organized crime in North America.
