Mexican Prosecutors Consider Treason Charges After US Jails Drug Lord ‘El Mayo’ Zambada
KMID ^ | Aug 12, 2024

The United States managed to arrest Mexico’s most-wanted drug lord, but Mexican prosecutors — and the president — now say they are considering bringing treason charges against those who handed him over.

It’s part of the long, strange trail of Sinaloa cartel leader Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, who unexpectedly appeared on a flight that landed near El Paso, Texas in July. That private plane flight was arranged by another drug capo who decided to turn himself in.

U.S. officials say Joaquín Guzmán López — a son of imprisoned cartel leader Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán — flew to the United States to turn himself in, but abducted Zambada before leaving Mexico and forced him onto the plane. But rather than thanking the United States for nabbing Zambada — whose cartel has spread violence and terror across Mexico for decades — Mexican prosecutors are considering bringing treason charges against Guzmán or anyone else involved in the plot.

So prosecutors ordered subs for lunch and said but “Hold El Mayo.”

Slang use of “mayo” -——

Occasionally, mayo is still used as slang for cocaine or heroin.

Mayo is used as a disparaging term for white people most common in black American slang, although its use is no longer extremely widespread.

Can we just nuke Mexico and then use it for a parking lot?

This anti-American parasite nation has been a pain in the butt for decades.

Notice this. Plane just flies in to the US.

“U.S. officials said they had almost no warning when Guzmán López’s plane landed at an airport near El Paso and weren’t expecting Zambada to be aboard the craft. Both men were arrested and remain jailed. They are charged in the U.S. with various drug crimes.

Ken Salazar, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, said the plane took off from Sinaloa and filed no flight plan. He stressed the pilot wasn’t American, nor was the plane.“

Money talks, but AK’s Scream.
To most, the amount of money is unimaginable,
combined with an inherant loss of life should
the cartels be crossed.

I’m with other commenters. And President Trump who wanted to bomb them. In fact, I’d like to see us nuke the cartels from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure.

That is absolutely bonkers. Planes can fly into our country unannounced, make it all the way to El Paso, and land safely… curious how often this happens. Or maybe I don’t really want to know. We literally have NO border security.

More proof, if any needed, that the Mexican Government is run by the drug cartels.

Wife and I already paid for our trip to an all inclusive resort in Cozumel a week or so ago, for January.

TWO days later the 2 girls were drugged in Cancun with something in their drink

NOW this….and it’s non-refundable.🫤

Mayo was Will Farrell’s character in the movie Get Hatd. Was pretty funny.

In my mind, it is not necessary to nuke Mexico.

In my mind, a better, tried and true, course of action is selective death on a large scale. The scale is several specific drug cartel compounds known and designated by the DEA.

Simultaneous middle of the night attacks by drones firing multiple rockets at the narrowly defined compounds will kill the leaders, the troops, the wives and the children.

By simultaneously, cheaply, selectively killing off all within the catrel compounds great progress will be achieved.

There is in fact a war. the solution to war is victory. Victory is achieved by killing the enemy where he lives.

QED

That’s a pretty strong affirmation that the Mexican government is all-in with the concept of being a narco-state.

Mexican prosecutors are on the drug dealers payroll, as are most elected officials. It's a narco state.

El Paso is just about as far from Mexico as San Diego or Brownsville, Texas; i.e. right on the border.
