Beittel, Analyst in Latin American Affairs (jbgi th r o, 7-7613) Liana W. Rosen, Specialist in International Crime and Narcotics (,rosenacrs bc goy 7-6177) The notorious drug trafficking kingpin Joaquin El Chapo Guzmin is in U.S. custody, following the Mexican government's high-profile decision to extradite him to the United States on January 19, 2017, the day before President Donald J. Trump took office. According to a 2016 superseding indi=tnt filed with the Eastern District Court of New York, Guzmin is charged with operating a continuing criminal enterprise and conducting drug-related crimes as the purported leader of the Mexican criminal syndicate commonly known as the Sinaloa Cartel. According to the Dmg Enforcement Administration, the Sinaloa Cartel has the widest reach of any transnational criminal organization into U.S. cities and is vying with another cartQ to supply surging U.S. heroin demand. Introduction Mexico's extradition of Guzmin to the United States has been widely xk inel by U.S. officials. Some a viewed the extradition as the culmination of bilateral security cooperation under the Obama Administration, whereas others saw it as a goodwill gesture to President Trump. Following Guzmin's 2014 capture by Mexican marines supported by U.S. intelligence, the Mexican government was resismnj to extradite Guzmin to the United States. Views appear to have shifted in light of Guzmin's brazen prison escape in 2015. By the time he was recaptured in 2016, the Mexican government proved willing to provide extensive cooperation and assistanc to U.S. authorities to secure his extradition. Guzmin's arraignment occurred less than a week before the abrupt cancellation of a meetin s r January3i, 2017, between President Trump and Mexican President Enrique Pefia Nieto. Current tensions in U. S.- Mexican relations over trade, executive actions on immigration, and a border wall have raised questions about wheth MQxico iil be willing to continue Cooperating with the United States on antidrug and other security efforts, which remain top concerns for many U.S. policymakers.
