U.S. Involvement in Zambada Capture Sparks Tensions | California News
Description
Mexico is erupting over the U.S.-led capture of drug lord Ismael El Mayo Zambada, with President Sheinbaum accusing Washington of treaty violations after the FBI unveiled the plane used to transport him. The twist? Zambada was allegedly kidnapped by Joaquin Guzman Lopez — son of “El Chapo” — who admitted to drugging and flying him across the border to curry favor with U.S. authorities. While the U.S. Embassy insists no agency was involved, Mexico’s government secretary slammed the story as inconsistent, hinting at possible lies and secret deals. Zambada’s guilty plea for trafficking and money laundering has triggered cartel chaos, while past tensions — including the deaths of two CIA agents in April and the indictment of a former Sinaloa governor — have deepened diplomatic rifts.
