Episode 126: The What and Why of the El Chapo Family Members Entering the US

from Cartels, Conspiracies, and Camarena · host Jack Luellen

On May 14, seventeen members of El Chapo's family crossed from Tijuana to San Diego where they were met and whisked away by U.S. agents. In this Episode, I discuss this event, including the identities of some of the family members. In addition, I look at the events that preceded this event, including plea negotiations by Ovidio and Joaquin, a potential split within Los Chapitos, and the reaction of the Mexican government.  Finally, I discuss the role these events might have played in the apparent alliance between Los Chapitos and CJNG and what it all means for the future of CDS.
