El Chapo’s ex-wife, daughter among 17 relatives who crossed US border in surprise deal: reports

It’s a crime family affair.

The ex-wife of jailed Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and 16 other relatives strolled across the US southern border as part of a secret plea deal with the feds, according to reports.

Griselda Lopez Perez, who was married to the notorious former Sinaloa drug cartel boss, her daughter and other kin entered the US at the Tijuana/San Diego crossing Friday — a move believed to be tied to the government’s case against El Chapo’s youngest son, Mexico News Daily reported.

“It’s clear that with his family going to the United States, it’s connected to this negotiation or plea deal opportunity provided by the Department of Justice itself,” Mexican Security Secretary Omar Garcia Harfuch told the Spanish-language outlet Radio Formula on Wednesday.

Video footage posted on X by the outlet on Tuesday shows the drug trafficker’s family lugging suitcases as they wait to be processed at the border — reportedly packing $70,000 in cash with them.

Griselda’s son with the drug lord, Ovidio Guzman Lopez, a narcotrafficker known as “El Raton,” or the Mouse, was extradited to the US in September 2023, eight months after he was captured in a massive raid by heavily armed Mexican police that left 29 dead.

My guess Mexico was glad to rid of them and President Trump struck a deal to move them here. Now they will be more easily available if they try anything illegal to our justice system.

Also, nothing says we can’t deport them later if they become a nuisance...
