Six months ago infamous Mexican drug kingpin and billionaire Joaquin El Chapo Guzman "escaped," for the second time, from a prison in Mexico. He escaped the first time by hiding in a laundry basket. The second time, he left the prison through a tunnel in his cell.
Pro-tip: El Chapo isn't "escaping," they're letting him out. That's how things work in Mexico.— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) July 13, 2015
Now, El Chapo has been recaptured and the United States, specifically the Drug Enforcement Agency, is demanding he be extradicted to the United States.
The navy said in a statement that marines, acting on a tip, stormed into a home in the town of Los Mochis before dawn. They were fired on from inside the building. Five suspects were killed and six others arrested, according to the statement.

How will he "escape" this time? Nobody knows, but the guards he's paying off will know soon.
El Chapo is responsible for the murders, including beheadings, acid baths, dismemberment and more, of thousands of Mexican citizens.
What will happen first, Hillary’s indictment on misappropriated FBI files, or Chapo’s next ‘shocking’ breakout?
I’m predicting a June escape.
Congratulations to the Mexican Marines who were able to capture El Chapo alive after a firefight. It must have been a herculean example of restraint to not administer summary justice then and there.
I heard that Jesse Jacksome is going to mexico to negotiate his release
That long?
Mexico’s catch and release program. He’ll be out in less than six months.
The best part of this story was the discovery of the fact that Mexico has Marines. This is a country of 100 million people with 0 tanks and 6 fighter planes...for the whole military. They’ve got MARINES??
They’ve been using their marines to assist in dealing with the cartels for a long time. They’re probably the best organization Mexico has to get anything done and done right, IMHO.
Common sense dictates sending him to Chicago federal court where Sinaloa ruled dope trade
Save the Mex govt mucho headache
Problem is he will tell the US folks the dirt on all he paid down there in the Cartel Plaza system of paying off cops and army and politicos
And it likely goes all the way to the top and even into US and Europe etc
I’m surprised they didn’t kill him
The Plaza System of corruption is a must read for anyone interested in how it works down there in narco land
He should have been shot while trying to escape.
