    Well, time for everyone to buy a gun for their own protection I guess.

    17 members of a cartel kingpin's family were escorted into California from Mexico. Why?

    Key pillars of the Trump administration's policy toward Mexico involve large-scale deportations and a crackdown on cartels.

    But reports in the Mexican media suggest that U.S. authorities recently orchestrated the secret, cross-border move of at least 17 relatives of Mexico's most notorious drug kingpin — Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán — to California.

    Various social media sites have circulated images purporting to show El Chapo's kin lugging rolling suitcases as they waited to enter the United States last week at the San Ysidro border crossing connecting Tijuana and San Diego.

    In a radio interview Tuesday, Omar García Harfuch, Mexico's security chief, confirmed that the move took place.


    He characterized the transfer of El Chapo's relatives as part of a "negotiation" between the U.S. Justice Department and representatives of one of El Chapo's sons, Ovidio Guzmán López, who faces drug smuggling and other charges in federal court in Chicago.

    Guzmán López was initially arrested in a 2019 operation that sparked gun battles paralyzing the city of Culiacán, prompting then-President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to order him freed in a bid to end the violence. He was rearrested in 2023 in a second bloody operation that left at least 29 dead, including 10 Mexican soldiers. Mexico extradited him to the United States in September 2023 to face drug trafficking charges.

    He plans to change his not guilty plea to guilty, according to court papers, but the terms of his potential plea deal remain publicly unknown. A court hearing is set for July 9 in federal court in Chicago.

    "As we saw in the news, Ovidio begins a negotiation with the Department of Justice of the United States and it's evident that, [with] his family going to the United States, it's because of that negotiation," García Harfuch told Mexico's Radio Formula.

    The current whereabouts of the El Chapo relatives could not be determined. It was unclear whether they were under some form of protective custody.

    There has been speculation in Mexico that, in exchange for a reduced prison term and other concessions, Guzmán López could agree to testify for the government in drug cases. Such "cooperation" agreements, experts say, routinely include protection for the relatives of potential witnesses.

    Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday that the reports had blindsided her — she learned of the move from news accounts — and that her government was seeking clarification from Washington.

    A Justice Department spokeswoman, Nicole Navas, declined to comment. Guzmán Lopez's New York-based attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, did not return messages.


    El Chapo, who was convicted in 2019 of running a vast drug network, is serving a life sentence at a "supermax" prison in Colorado.

    The accounts about El Chapo's relatives entering San Diego originated with Luis Chaparro, a Mexican journalist who specializes in stories about the convicted drug trafficker.

    It could be that El Chapo's son jailed in Chicago has agreed to name names, and in return, the family is being moved into the US for protection.

    Democrats: we believe in immigration and open borders
    Also Democrats: we believe in accepting refugees with no background check
    Further Democrats: we believe in due process

    When Trump blindly accepts refugees from another country, Democrats freak out and automatically judge someone with no due process.
