Borderland Beat Contributors
During Mexican President AMLO’s morning conference, the Secretary of Citizen Security and future Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez released deatils and a chronology of the events for the arrests in the US of Ismael Zambada Garcia and Joaquin Guzman Lopez.
The official said that agents located in El Paso, Texas, sent the Mexican government two photographs that not only confirmed the capture, but also confirmed that the identities of “El Mayo” and Joaquín Guzmán López.
The images sent by US authorities were sent separately, but were put together to create a chronology of the arrest. The arrest of El Mayo and El Chapo’s son occurred at 4:14 p.m. through the United States Embassy, so it was not until 6:00 p.m. that the first images of both were sent.

Their arrests were part of a joint operation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agencies, HSI said in a statement.

One worker at the Santa Teresa airport, near El Paso, on Thursday afternoon told Reuters that he saw a Beechcraft King Air land on the runway, where federal agents were already waiting.
“Two individuals got off the plane… and were calmly taken into custody,” said the man, who declined to share his name out of concern for his safety. “It seemed like a pretty calm, arranged thing,” he added.
This witness statement could discredit however claims made by the Wall Street Journal that “El Mayo” was tricked into flying to the US and being arrested. Mexican drug kingpin Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada was arrested by U.S. agents Thursday after a high-ranking Sinaloa cartel member tricked him into flying to Texas, Mexican and U.S. officials said. Joaquín Guzmán López, the son of imprisoned drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, was on the same plane and also arrested upon landing, a Homeland Security Investigations official said.

The reports of a Beechcraft King Air match the videos taken of the scene. However, looking at Flight Tracker records for the Santa Teresa airport that day, only a single flight took place from Mexico, the tail number of that flight, from Sonora, is N8454Z.

According to the morning briefing in Mexico, manager Armando Ibadrola presented a flight plan so that the aircraft with registration number N84554Z could schedule its departure at 8:00 AM in the morning. Both the manager and the pilot/owner of the plane presented their passports and the information was registered with immigration.
The news caused controversy regarding the flight, since according to Rosa Icela, there is only a record of one passenger and one pilot, that is, the process of how it left until its arrival in Texas is being investigated, since officially one took off and three people arrived.
“The pilot is not registered as an authority, nor is he registered as a visitor; he is only listed as a pilot.”
Rosa Icela also announced that Ovidio Guzmán López , son of El Chapo Guzmán, was not released by the United States authorities as had been confirmed by some media a few hours ago.
“No, he was not released, there is a change in the precautionary measure,” said the head of the SSPC during the press conference on Friday.
“Yesterday, the Department of Justice arrested Zambada García and Guzmán López, two of the most notorious leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the deadliest enterprises in the world,” Biden said in a brief written statement released by the White House.
In a statement, US Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said the Sinaloa cartel “pioneered the manufacture of fentanyl and has for years trafficked it into our country, killing hundreds of thousands of Americans and devastating countless communities”.
FBI director Chris Wray said the arrests are “an example of the FBI’s and our partners’ commitment to dismantling violent transnational criminal organizations like the Sinaloa Cartel,” he said.
