Two Mexican drug kingpin including the son of notorious cartel boss El Chapo, have been arrested and are in US custody.

Ismael ‘El Mayo’ Zambada, the co-founder of the Sinaloa drug cartel, and Joaquín Guzmán López surrendered to American law enforcement.

Zambada founded the Sinaloa Cartel along with now-jailed drug lord Joaquin ‘ El Chapo‘ Guzman, and he faces a litany of indictments for crimes relating to drug trafficking and organized crime in the US.

American federal prosecutors in February charged Zambada with conspiracy to make and distribute fentanyl, but he has never been behind bars.

Lopez is one of El Chapo’s sons and was elevated to the cartel’s top leadership in 2017 when his father was extradited to the US.

His brother Ovidio Guzmán López was also arrested in Mexico, and extradited to the US in September to face his own long list of charges. 

American officials said fentanyl was the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45.

More to come.

Is Palm Beach Really a Suburb? The Designation Throws a Few Noses Out of Joint in Florida’s Billionaire Enclave

The word “suburbia” conjures up images of sleepy cul-de-sacs, where local drama might entail someone mowing a lawn diagonally rather than vertically. It’s little wonder then that Palm Beach, FL—a posh paradise that offers its well-heeled residents a luxurious waterfront lifestyle and vibrant nightlife—would bristle at being called a mere fringe community.
