Mexico arrests a son of 'El Chapo' ahead of Biden visit
Defense Secretary Luis Cresencio Sandoval said Army and National Guard personnel had captured a son of “El Chapo.” Sandoval identified him only as Ovidio, in keeping with government policy.
“This is a significant blow to the Sinaloa cartel and major victory for the rule of law. It will not, however, impede the flow of drugs into the U.S. Hopefully, Mexico will extradite him to the U.S.,” Mike Vigil, the DEA's former Chief of International Operations, said Thursday. The security forces then came under fire, but were able to gain control of the situation and identify Guzman among those present and in possession of firearms, Sandoval said.
Other “little Chapos” include two of his brothers - Ivan Archivaldo Guzman and Jesus Alfredo Guzman - who are believed to have been running cartel operations together with Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada. Alleged cartel members responded to Thursday's operation by carjacking Culiacan residents and setting vehicles ablaze in the cartel stronghold. Local and state authorities warned everyone to stay inside.
