U.S. Prosecutors Outline Case Against Mexican Drug Lord El Chapo
After eluding prosecution in the United States for decades and escaping from prison twice in Mexico, the crime lord Joaquín Guzmán Loera, better known as El Chapo, appeared on Friday in federal court in Brooklyn and pleaded not guilty to charges that he had overseen a multibillion-dollar drug empire. Prosecutors said the operation had moved at least 200 tons of cocaine into the United States, had earned $14 billion in profits and had been protected by an army of assassins who killed thousands of people. Mr. Guzmán’s arraignment, in Federal District Court, was both a news media spectacle and a pro forma counterpoint to his sudden extradition from Mexico on Thursday afternoon, when a police jet flew him from the border to MacArthur Airport in Islip, on Long Island. The brief court proceeding took place under tight security, with police vehicles, heavily armed guards and bomb-sniffing dogs patrolling the grounds outside the courthouse. Dressed for his arraignment in a blue V-neck … [Read more...] about U.S. Prosecutors Outline Case Against Mexican Drug Lord El Chapo
A Woman’s Haunting Disappearance Sparks Outrage in Mexico Over Gender Violence
MONTERREY, Mexico — On the 13th day of searching for his missing daughter, Mario Escobar stood outside a gas station in the choking heat, clutching fliers with her photo and the vestiges of a desperate, lingering hope. Hours later, in a wash of red and blue police lights, that hope was destroyed. Debanhi Escobar’s body was found last Thursday night in an abandoned underground water tank on the grounds of a motel in northern Mexico, which authorities had already searched four different times. “I’m shattered,” Mr. Escobar said of his daughter’s disappearance. “My life has changed completely.” The case of Ms. Escobar, an 18-year-old law student who disappeared on April 9, has sparked outrage and protests over a phenomenon that is now chillingly common in Mexico: The disappearance of women and girls all over the country. In just the last month, at least nine other women and girls have gone missing in the greater metropolitan area of Monterrey, one of the … [Read more...] about A Woman’s Haunting Disappearance Sparks Outrage in Mexico Over Gender Violence
Rep. Pramila Jayapal Wants to Grow Congressional Progressive Caucus and Move Dems Left
The GOP took the House in the 2022 midterms , but even before Democrats have officially left the House majority, some members are already thinking about 2024 and how their party can win back control from Republicans. Eying the GOP’s slim majority—they won by just nine seats—some Democrats believe the House is prime territory for a flip. That sort of quick turnaround for House control would be a rarity. Democrats last held the House for four years, Republicans held it for eight before that. And yet, House progressives say that at least on their end, the inner workings of that goal are already underway. They’re hoping to be the key for it all—to mobilize voters en masse next election around Democrats’ left-most ideas and candidates. The work to do so starts now, they say. Of course, the minority isn’t where Democrats, including progressives, wanted to be after the 2022 cycle. But defying widespread forecasts of a red wave, the party has been meticulously … [Read more...] about Rep. Pramila Jayapal Wants to Grow Congressional Progressive Caucus and Move Dems Left
Witness at El Chapo Trial Gives Master Class on Sinaloa Cartel
[What you need to know to start your day: Get New York Today in your inbox .] A former operations chief for the Sinaloa drug cartel took the witness stand Wednesday and offered a master class on the inner workings of the trafficking operation, identifying Joaquín Guzmán Loera, known to the world as El Chapo, as one of its chief leaders. In three hours of insider testimony, the witness, Jesus Zambada García, provided details of the cartel’s logistics, financing and central personalities — among them, his own brother, Ismael Zambada García, who once served as Mr. Guzmán’s deputy and partner. At the high point of the afternoon, Mr. Zambada — balding, wearing a pair of tinted glasses and dressed in a blue prison jumpsuit — rose to his feet and pointed at Mr. Guzmán, naming him one of Mexico’s “most powerful drug traffickers.” With arms crossed, Mr. Guzmán showed little reaction aside from coolly meeting his former underling’s gaze. That exchange, like the rest of Mr. Zambada’s … [Read more...] about Witness at El Chapo Trial Gives Master Class on Sinaloa Cartel
