WASHINGTON (AP) — Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, a historic leader of Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, and Joaquín Guzmán López, a son of another infamous cartel leader, were arrested by U.S. authorities in Texas, the U.S. Justice Department said Thursday. A leader of the powerful Sinaloa cartel for decades alongside Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, Zambada was known for running the cartel’s smuggling operations, but keeping a lower profile. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration had offered a reward of up to $15 million for information leading to his capture.

They are aging and need medical care? Win win for the cartels and CIA, assets are “arrested” and they finish out their days with medical care (for free).

“You wrote “makes perfect sense as the ‘reason’... considering how politicized and weaponized this regime has become.” — and they are out to win at all costs, including jailing opponents, removing them from the ballot, bankrupting them, imprisoning them, and assassination.”

I have studied history and I’ve been observing these leftist Democrats (communists) for decades. I put nothing... absolutely nothing... past them and what they’re willing to do, how low they’re willing to sink to, in order to fulfil their agenda. Their agenda is coming along swimmingly, btw.

And as we’ve seen just recently, it was only a matter of when, not if... that they would attempt that hit, since they’re all too willing to commit murder along with that “high treason” to achieve their goals.

I have learned to hope for the best, but prepare for (and expect) the worst. Sooner or later, they’ll get around to ‘the worst’. It’s how they roll.

Trump is our last, best hope to stave off the communist police state that looms as our dire future, currently. But again, anything (literally), could happen between now and election day. Stay frosty.

There is probably a position open for him in a Harris administration.

El Chapo’s oldest daughter is married to El Mayo’s son “El Vicentillo”.

Convenient timing for a big narco-criminal arrest during the run-up to the “border czar’s” coronation at the Democrat National Convention.

I’m sure freepers will scold but this is a very very big development

Not sure it played out

Lots of intrigue down there but Zambada is no fool

Probably intimate betrayal

I’m shocked to see this

Zambada has operated and survived at or near the top from the 70s on thru the sensemilla boom and all the Colombian cartels and Mexican drug civil war

I’m guessing it was important and a very major betrayal to him

By whom?

Could be us offering him something

Why would he risk US soil?

His Mexican govt and military protection has always been incredible

I doubt most here know how monumental this is

Of course he’s old and folks may have determined he’s got to go

Thanks for posting this
