Sinaloa Senator Enrique Inzunza Cazárez, a high-ranking member of Mexico’s ruling socialist Morena party, has been ARRESTED in San Diego after turning himself in to U.S. federal authorities.
The cartel-connected politician, 53, was taken into custody by the Drug Enforcement Administration on charges of narcotics importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess the same, according to multiple Mexican news outlets and U.S. court documents.
Inzunza Cazárez was one of 10 current and former Sinaloa officials hit with a massive federal indictment unsealed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York back on April 29.
US prosecutors allege the defendants conspired with the Sinaloa cartel to import narcotics into the United States in exchange for political support and bribes.
“The Sinaloa Cartel is a ruthless criminal organization that has flooded this community with dangerous drugs for decades,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton.
“As the indictment lays bare, the Sinaloa Cartel, and other drug trafficking organizations like it, would not operate as freely or successfully without corrupt politicians and law enforcement officials on their payroll. The support of corrupt foreign officials for deadly trafficking of drugs must end. Let these charges send a clear message to all officials around the globe who work with narco-traffickers: no matter your title or position, we are committed to bringing you to justice.”
New York Post reported:

Get a rope!
How about investigating/arresting US officials that do the same thing? To me that is worse and more of a problem.
Yes...Pelosi, anyone? I remember those pics of her in Mexico...with “interesting” people.
Who are his US counterparts that are also on the cartel pay list ?
Waterboard him until he gives up the names.
Yes. Now do the American mayors, governors, senators and councils.
Interesting. The Mexican government must have authorized this because as a Mexican senator, he has diplomatic immuninity.
Do you water board those who turn themselves in? Yeah I guess so .
It’s not water boarding if you use diesel fuel.
L
I wonder if Bass and Newsom are included on that list?
I wouldn’t be surprised.
“turned himself in” tells me it was coordinated with Mez gov. Also tells me that Trump pressure on Mexico is working. We will see a lot more of this. But they will be discreet about it much like this.
There’s probably a depth of state-level talks about this since the US basically declared war on the cartels. Rubio has been a very busy guy.
😁
You want us to arrest more democrats? Why?
I can dream can’t I?
