Abstract:
On January 19, 2017, Mexico extradited Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, the notorious alleged drug lord El Chapo, to the United States. Acting Attorney General Sally Q. Yates announced that El Chapo will face charges filed in Brooklyn, New York, following his extradition to the U. S. from Mexico, alleging that he was operating a continuing criminal enterprise and other drug-related crimes through his leadership of the Mexican organized crime syndicate known as the Sinaloa Cartel.
