At least 17 relatives of 'El Chapo' and son Ovidio Guzmán entered the U.S. last Friday

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum demanded answers from the Trump administration regarding its recent acceptance of 17 relatives of drug kingpin Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán and his son, Ovidio Guzmán, both prominent leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel.
"They need to explain themselves first," Sheinbaum said during a passage of her daily press conference on Wednesday. "We still don't have any official explanation or public details about why this family was permitted entry into the United States." She emphasized the urgency for transparency, particularly since the Trump administration recently designated Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations.
Among those crossing into U.S. territory through the San Ysidro border crossing was Griselda López, Ovidio's mother and El Chapo's former wife. Ovidio Guzmán was extradited to the U.S. in September 2023 following his capture by Mexican forces in January of that year. He is scheduled to plead guilty to charges of drug trafficking and money laundering at a hearing in Chicago on July 9.
Mexican Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch has openly suggested that this transfer likely stems from ongoing negotiations between Ovidio Guzmán and the U.S. Department of Justice. "Clearly, if Guzmán's family has moved into the U.S., it indicates some form of negotiation or agreement with the Department of Justice," Harfuch stated.
