El Chapo In Mexico

When actress Kate Del Castillo helped Sean Penn and Rolling Stone Magazine arrange the interview with drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, she had plans of making a movie based on his life as the leader of one of the biggest criminal lords in Mexico.

El Chapo was considered the most powerful drug lord until his second arrest in Mexico in February 2014. The fugitive had already made his great escape once in Mexico by being wheeled out in a laundry cart, but the master drug lord is famous for yet another escape through an underground tunnel. The tunnel was 50-by-50-centimeters under the shower area. It stretched about a mile long and was equipped with a motorcycle on tracks. There are several possible places where Guzman could be hiding starting with his hometown. It's a mountainous area and contains a vast network of citizens that would be happy to hide him from police. The US is extremely mad due to the fact that they wanted Guzman to be extradited because of concerns that be

Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who has twice escaped from prison, is used to being around danger. Little did Mr. El Chapo know, his admiration for a certain woman would get him caught and once again sent back to prison. Kate del Castillo, an American and Mexican actress, was meeting with the fugitive drug trafficker and the actor Sean Penn; who apparently met with El Chapo in the jungle for a Rolling Stones magazine article. During the magazine article interview Guzman bragged how he had supplied, “more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world.”

In 1993, EL Chapo was captured and sent to another high maximum security prison in Jalisco, Mexico. Initially, he was placed in a isolated facility until he was able to bribe and threaten the staff to place him with the other inmates. While there, they allowed him to have sex with female prisoners from other institutions, smuggle cocaine through Viagra pills, and treated him like a king (Fusion). Also, he stayed in contact with other extremely powerful drug allies, providing him with money and enforced their power among the guards (Grayson 58). After lawmakers did further investigation on his escape, it has been shown that seventy-one prison officials were receiving regular payments from 'El Chapo' (Morris 254). This continued for eight years (a few days before being extradited to the U.S.) until he decided that it was time for him to escape (Grayson 58). His major influence with his guards, led to them helping hide his body under dirty laundry and smuggling him out of the

Drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, a legend in Mexico through his dramatic prison escapes and years of staying just ahead of the law, arrived late Thursday in New York after his extradition to the United States.

The arrest of Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman was a victorious circumstance for the Mexican government, who have been closing down on his presence for the recent past years. Mexican authorities began taking down high ranked members of the Sinaloa Cartel including two of Guzman’s main associates. On February 22, 2014, the world’s most wanted man had also been captured. Although the biggest drug lord has been captured, the crime and violence left behind cannot be forgotten.

Joaquin Guzman best known as “El Chapo” is the world's greatest drug lord. He has been captured three times and has been able to escape twice, once in a laundry basket and the second time he managed to escaped in an underground tunnel built in his shower cell. He was recently recaptured after being fugitive for about six months. Joaquin entered the drug business as a teenager and later became in charge of the Sinaloa cartel. “He shops and ships by some estimates more than half of all the cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana that come into the United States”(Penn). Many argue that El Chapo is a really bad person that only does a lot of harm to the citizens in Mexico, but what most don't know is that he actually helps some of them.

Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera, also known as El Chapo, was born in the rural community of La Tuna, Badiraguato, Sinaloa (Beith, 2010). Guzman Loera started his trafficking career in the 1980’s working for the powerful Miguel Angel Felix-Gallardo (U.S Department of State, 2015); he was able to quickly move up the ranks because of his expertise in air logistics (U.S DOS, 2015). Guzman Loera is now the most powerful drug trafficker in the world and the leader of the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico. Thousands of killings have been attributed to Guzman Loera’s organization, along with kidnappings, and extortions. Mexican authorities arrested Guzman Loera on June 9th, 1993, for murder and drug related charges and was given a twenty year sentence in a maximum security prison in Jalisco, Mexico. However, he managed to escape from the maximum security prison on January 19, 2001 (U.S DOS, 2015). His escape from the maximum security prison in Jalisco has allowed him to

I recall spending winters in Ciudad Juarez with my entire family making traditional dishes such as tamales and buñuelos for Christmas. My cousins and I would go outside and have snowball fights and race bikes throughout our neighborhoods. Today it is still difficult to walk around the streets after 7:00pm. Not only does this affect Mexico, but it also affects the United States in an appalling way. A recent study conducted by CNN states that ‘El Chapo’ Guzman has poisoned the streets of Chicago, America’s third largest city. Approximately 80% of illegal narcotics found in Chicago traces back to the Sinaloa Cartel led Guzman. Jack Riley, a deputy administrator of the DEA in Washington, reinforced that Guzman has enabled, “the ability to enter in partnerships, businesses, with nearly 150,000 street gang members who make their living putting heroin and cocaine and meth on the street." El Chapo’s large drug scale operation in Chicago is also a supply point for major cities such as Detroit, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Ohio, New York City, among many others throughout the nation. "Guzman is the reason you've got kids fighting over just one corner, and shooting each other" stated by Art Bilek, a retired Chicago detective. As a result of the ongoing Mexican drug war, approximately 100,000 houses have been abandoned in the wake of this violent war as many have moved to the U.S to seek safety and improved living conditions.

In the Scarlet Letter, the narrator is an unnamed man who writes these events after they take place a couple hundred years ago. His point of view is a third person omniscient. He tells the story of the characters and knows everything about each of them, but doesn't get involved in the story himself. This is consistent throughout the entire novel. This is beneficial in the sense that it reveals every character’s secrets and opinions, allowing for the readers to simultaneously understand all aspects of the story.

Hearing the door open, I jumped out of my bed delighted. My cousins are coming home today and I have not seen them for years. They live in America and I live in Saudi Arabia; the only time we see each other is in the summer in our homeland.
