Mexican security chief confirms cartel family members entered US in a deal with Trump administration

Mexico’s security chief confirmed Tuesday that 17 family members of cartel leaders crossed into the U.S. last week as part of a deal between a son of the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel and the Trump administration.

Mexican Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch confirmed a report by independent journalist Luis Chaparro that family members of Ovidio Guzman Lopez, who was extradited to the United States in 2023, had entered the U.S.

Guzmán Lopez is one of the brothers left running a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel after notorious capo Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán was imprisoned in the U.S. Video showed the family members walking across the border from Tijuana with their suitcases to waiting U.S. agents.

  • As a non-believer, I just need to say, Jesus fucking Christ.

    I mean, why not, right? Why not invite the families of cartels into this country? It's a pretty good topper after accepting a 400 million dollar bribe from one of the countries most associated with terrorism. From the start of his campaign in 2016, he's calling Mexican immigrants murderers and rapists as a point of assumption. Accuses Haitian immigrants of eating pets on a national debate stage just because he heard it somewhere. Won't shut up about immigrants who are apparently crazy like Hannibal Lecter simply because he had a word association salad while half-ignoring people talking about "asylum seekers" and having core memories of seeing the "insane asylum" in Silence of the Lambs. Sends rogue gangs of secret police after any immigrants they can get their hands on, vanishing such "illegals" out of the country without due process to confirm whether or not they were in fact "illegal" to begin with - and refuses to even try to recover those who were illegally renditioned, even when ordered to do so by the highest court in the land. While the supposed identification of knuckle tattoos translating to "MS13" (primarily by means of having the same number of digits) was im fact dubious symbology, the Commander in Chief repeatedly insists the "translation" type photoshopped onto the photo actually part of the tattoos, even when repeatedly corrected. Furthermore, he constantly touts this idea that all of the people he is exporting to this El Salvadoran gulag are gang-related criminals, or at minimum part of cartel families, despite never having a shred of evidence to prove this. And while this supposed economy expert who destroyed the economy with tariffs he didn't understand fails on the world stage, showing he has zero aptitude for making deals in any context, he does actually agree to one deal: with an actual Mexican cartel. You know, those criminals he's always talking about? And part of the deal is that they're going to send members of their families to live here. You know, those gang-associated immigrants he's always telling you to worry about? That we need to get out of our country? If you pay him enough, he'll let them right on in no matter who they are. Just line his pockets on your way through the door. Someone please, I want to hear that I've eaten the onion. This cannot be reality, it just can't.

  • Saw there was a video mentioned but wasn't linked. Had to go to TikTok to eventually find said video cause none of the news articles had it

    That being said, I can't 100% confirm this is the right video, but its the best it could find. Reuploaded to a diffrent website so Noone is forced to go to TikTok
