According to the Associated Press and other media reports, the Mexican authorities said on June 6, 65438/KLOC-0 local time that Ovidio guzman, the son of joaquin guzman, a Mexican drug Lord, was arrested in sinaloa, Mexico on October 5/KLOC-0, which triggered an exchange of fire between the military and drug trafficking groups, and the northern city of Culiacan became a war zone, resulting in 29. A federal judge in Mexico City suspended the extradition of Ovidio guzman to the United States.

Culiacan, sinaloa, Mexico is in chaos.

Armed drug dealers began to retaliate against the attack.

The United States is seeking the extradition of Ovidio suspected of drug trafficking. In 20 18, the U.S government offered a reward of $5 million for this man who was regarded as a "senior member of the Sinaloa cartel".

However, in the current tense atmosphere, a federal judge in Mexico City suspended the extradition of Ovidio to the United States on the 6th.

Ovidio's arrest in Culiacan triggered a wave of violence among members of armed cartels. Armed drug dealers set up roadblocks and set fire to dozens of cars to block traffic.

Sinaloa airport was also attacked, at least two planes were hit, and more than 100 flights at the local airport were cancelled.

A flight was shot down.

In the crossfire, the Mexican army sent a Black Hawk helicopter to attack the cartel drug trafficking group, and the cartel drug trafficking group's vehicles equipped with guns opened fire on the helicopter, forcing two Mexican air force helicopters to make an emergency landing.

Defense Minister Luis Crescencio Sandoval said on the 6th local time that at least 29 people were killed in the crossfire, including 10 soldiers and 19 cartel members. Another 35 soldiers were injured and 265,438+0 cartel members were arrested.

After a shop was robbed, the police rushed to the scene.

Mexican President Lopez said that the Mexican army has taken responsible actions to ensure the safety of civilians. There were no reports of civilian deaths.

Another 1000 soldiers were sent to Sinaloa to help implement continuous security measures.

It is alleged that the arrest was related to Biden's visit.

Ovidio is 32 years old. He is the son of guzman, a famous Mexican drug Lord, and a senior leader of the international drug trafficking organization Sinaloa Cartel.

Sinaloa Cartel is one of the most powerful international drug trafficking organizations in the world, founded by dwarf guzman. Guzman was sentenced to life imprisonment for transporting a large amount of drugs to the United States in 25 years, and is currently serving his sentence in the United States.

Ovidio was arrested once on 20 19 and 10. However, local armed drug dealers fought back crazily. In order to avoid more casualties, the Mexican president had to release him.

Mexican officials said that before the arrest of Ovidio, American officials supported a six-month surveillance operation. Ovidio is currently being held in a maximum security federal prison.

A car caught fire in Kulyakan Street.

Ovidio was arrested again this time, just before US President Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau visited Mexico to attend the North American Leaders Summit.

Gladys McCormick, an associate professor at Syracuse University who studies the relationship between Mexico and the United States, said that the arrest of Ovidio may be a way for Mexican President Lopez to show the United States that he "controls the armed forces and security situation in Mexico".

However, Lopez denied that the arrest was related to Biden's visit at the press conference on the 6 th, saying that the Mexican authorities acted independently.

It is reported that the North American Leaders Summit will be held in Mexico City from June 9 to October 9, 65438+1 1, and US President Biden will arrive in Mexico on the 8th.
