McALLEN –

SNIPPET: “Velasquez Caballero went from being a local car thief in Nuevo Laredo to being one of the most feared Zeta bosses in Mexico. He was arrested by Mexican marines working with intelligence from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosi on September 26, 2012, Mexican court records show.”

SNIPPET: “Velasquez was extradited to the U.S. in November and made his initial appearance on November 22; it remains unclear why the case was transferred to McAllen.”
