"El Chapo's Son Extradited to U.S. for Drug Trafficking Charges"

Mexico has extradited Ovidio Guzmán López, the son of former Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán, to the United States to face drug trafficking charges. The extradition is part of the US Justice Department's efforts to dismantle the cartel's operations. Guzmán López, also known as "the Mouse," was captured in January in Culiacan, Sinaloa state, which led to a wave of violence. The indictment against Guzmán and his brothers alleges their involvement in the production and distribution of synthetic drugs like fentanyl. Fentanyl has become a major concern in the bilateral security relationship between the US and Mexico, with Mexico denying assertions of fentanyl production and blaming drug addiction on the deterioration of family values in the US.
