Family [17] of Imprisoned Mexican Drug Lord 'El Chapo' Flees to U.S. for Protection from Cartels

[Breitbart] Reports indicate that family members of the imprisoned Sinaloa Cartel kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán fled from Mexico to the United States for protection from warring cartel factions.

One hopes that if we accept them, we’ll make them sing the entire opera to pay for the privilege.

Although U.S. officials have not confirmed reports of Griselda López, El Chapo’s ex-wife, arriving in the United States with her family, posts on X and various web sources mentioned rumors earlier this week that Griselda López and at least 16 members of her immediate family had turned themselves over to Customs and Border Protection authorities at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
