Secretly
Enters
U.S.,
Sparking

Speculation

Tell Us
Mexico
SAN
YSIDRO,
CA - In
a move
shrouded
in
secrecy,
seventeen
relatives
of
notorious
drug
kingpin
Joaquín
"El
Chapo"
Guzmán
have
quietly
crossed
into the
United
States,
igniting
speculation
of a
potential
deal
between
U.S.
authorities
and his
son,
Ovidio
Guzmán
López.
Sources
confirm
that the
group—led
by
Griselda
López
Pérez,
El
Chapo’s
former
wife—entered
the U.S.
at the
San
Ysidro
border
on May
9. The
entourage
includes
nephews,
nieces,
a
grandson,
a
daughter,
and a
son-in-law,
though
officials
remain
tight-lipped
about
the
details.
Diplomatic
Fallout
&
Security
Concerns
The
transfer
has set
off a
firestorm:
Plea
Deal
Rumors
— Ovidio
Guzmán
López,
extradited
to the
U.S. in
2023, is
believed
to be
negotiating
a plea
deal.
Insiders
speculate
he may
cooperate
with
authorities
in
exchange
for
leniency
and
protection
for his
family.
Mexican
Authorities
Left in
the Dark
—
President
Claudia
Sheinbaum
claims
Mexico
was not
informed,
demanding
answers
from
U.S.
officials.
Heightened
Security
Risks
— The
sudden
arrival
of so
many
cartel-linked
figures
raises
concerns
about
potential
retaliation
or
unrest.
What’s
Next for
Ovidio
Guzmán
López?
Guzmán
López,
known as
"El
Ratón"
(The
Mouse),
initially
pleaded
not
guilty
but may
change
his
stance
as part
of a
deal.
Analysts
believe
he could
testify
against
major
cartel
figures,
including
Ismael
Zambada
García,
to
secure a
reduced
sentence
and
ensure
safety
for his
family.
Official
Silence
& Public
Outrage
U.S.
officials
have
refused
to
comment,
fueling
suspicions
about
behind-the-scenes
negotiations.
In
Mexico,
critics
demand
transparency,
arguing
the lack
of
communication
raises
troubling
questions.
With the
Sinaloa
Cartel’s
power
structure
in flux,
all eyes
are on
Washington
and
Mexico
City for
what
comes
next.
This
developing
story
will
continue
to
unfold
as more
details
emerge.
Stay
tuned.
