Reported: Mexican official confirms cartel family members entered U.S in deal with Trump Administration

    ABC News reports: Mexico's security chief confirmed that 17 family members of Sinaloa Cartel leaders entered the U.S last week as part of a cooperation agreement between Ovidio Guzman Lopez, son of "El Chapo," and the Trump Administration. Video showed the family members crossing the border from Tijuana into the custody of U.S agents. Mexican authorities believe these actions are tied to Guzman Lopez's cooperation with U.S prosecutors after he was extradited to the U.S. in 2023. Following this action, U.S officials announced new "narcoterrorism" charges against cartel leaders, specifically the Sinaloa Cartel.
