In a dramatic twist that reads more like a high-stakes espionage thriller than routine law enforcement, the U.S. has successfully apprehended Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, a notorious leader of the Sinaloa cartel, alongside Joaquín Guzmán López, the progeny of the infamous Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. However, instead of applause, this operation has sparked a potential legal firestorm, with Mexican authorities considering treason charges against those involved in the extradition.
The saga began when Zambada was forcibly taken aboard a private flight from Mexico to Texas, orchestrated by Guzmán López, who was reportedly seeking to surrender to U.S. authorities. This unexpected turn of events has not only captured Zambada but also ignited controversy as Mexican prosecutors explore severe charges, including treason, kidnapping, and various immigration and customs violations against those complicit in the extradition.
The response from Mexico's legal system underscores a deep-seated nationalistic sensitivity to perceived foreign interference. The Mexican penal code, perhaps still shadowed by the contentious extradition of a doctor implicated in the murder of DEA agent Kiki Camarena in 1985, defines treason not only as acts of war against Mexico but also the illegal extradition of its citizens. This broad definition frames the current scenario, where Zambada's forced extradition could lead to sentences as severe as 40 years.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's reaction to the arrest has been notably critical of U.S. policies. He openly questioned the American approach to drug policy enforcement, asking, “Why don't they change that policy?” His comments reflect a broader skepticism of U.S. intentions, suggesting a belief in persistent American efforts to “continue intervening, undermining, trying to dominate,” as he put it.
