In a dramatic and unexpected statement, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, the elusive leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, is claiming that his recent apprehension by U.S. authorities was not a voluntary surrender but the result of a betrayal by Joaquín Guzmán López, the son of the infamous Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.

Sinaloa's Mayo Zambada breaks his silence and drops bombshell: kidnapped by U.S., betrayed by El Chapo's son

The Associated Press

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The U.S. ambassador to Mexico confirmed Friday that drug lord Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada was brought to the United States against his will when he arrived in Texas in July on a plane along with fellow drug lord Joaquín Guzmán López. Zambada’s attorney had earlier claimed the longtime chief of the Sinaloa cartel had been kidnapped. But officials had not confirmed that and Zambada’s age and apparent ill-health had led some to speculate he turned himself in. U.S. Ambassador Ken Salazar on Friday said “the evidence we saw ... is that they had brought El Mayo Zambada against his will.”  “This was an operation between cartels, where one turned the other one in,” Salazar said. Zambada’s faction of the Sinaloa cartel has been engaged in fierce fighting with another faction, led by the sons of imprisoned drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. Guzmán López is the half-brother of the factional leaders.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

SEATTLE - Powerful cartels continue to be fully in control of major western ports in Mexico, as they are a critical part of the infrastructure of groups such as the Sinaloa cartel, which uses them to receive precursor chemicals and South American cocaine for trafficking into the United States, according to a report by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.
