'El Chapo' Has Been Captured, Mexican President Says

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto tweeted today that the infamous drug lord known as “El Chapo” has been captured.

"Mission accomplished: We have him. I want to inform the Mexicans that Joaquin Guzman Loera has been detained," the tweet states, written in Spanish.

A U.S. law enforcement official also confirmed his capture to ABC News.

An official from the Mexico Marines confirms to ABC News that Guzman was captured after a shootout with Mexican Marines in the city of Los Mochis, in the state of Sinaloa, this morning.

Earlier today, The Associated Press reported that five people had been killed and six people were arrested when the Mexican Marines raided a house in Sinaloa. The government has not confirmed a connection between the two.

There have been other raids in Sinaloa in recent months as part of the then-ongoing search for Guzman, the AP said.

Guzman, 57, escaped from the Altiplano prison near Mexico City July 11 and there has been an active manhunt for him ever since

I give it 8 months until the next breakout.

If he's extradited to the US he's toast. No way is he gonna break out of Florence supermax

 

[anon1]

He's going to have to fake his own death in order to get away next time.

Didn't they refuse that option last year?

Probably on their list along with a hard look at Die Hard II

Yup, they did. But a Mexican court also ruled that if he escaped and was subsequently caught again (like he is today), he would be extradited to the US. So I think he's screwed this time, unless he can escape out of custody on his way back to America.

Once he's in US though he's never getting out.

Lets see if Mexico keeps their word. I wouldnt put money on it

Mexico would extradite 'El Chapo' to United States -- if he's caught again

Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman would be extradited to the United States if he happens to be caught again, under a Mexican court order announced by authorities.

The court ruling obtained by the Mexican attorney general's offices marks a reversal from last year when authorities captured Guzman but declined to extradite him immediately to the United States

Supposed pics from his capture (I dont know if they're real or not)

 

[whynot888]

It's just a matter of time before he buys his way out again.

 

[twizz]

The Mexicans need to give him away to a prison in The US, there's too much corruption in Mexico for him to be held for long.

LOL.... as if we needed another reason how stupid Liberals are

I give him 6 months. The prison guards are lining up to be bribed.

Penn isn't a Liberal the guy is a socialist. He thought Lil Hugo was the greatest thing since sliced bread. The fact that he and Rolling Stone would do an interview with a notorious fugitive is quite telling about where their moral compass lies. Unless it was indeed a ploy to have him captured.

That being said I'll give Penn credit where it's due. His relief work in Haiti. Dude is down in the trenches.

 

[SkyRider]

Can't they plant a chip in these guys? Or, is that a gross violation of his human rights?

BTW: Penn's daughter is now of dating age. On her first date, Penn read her date the riot act.

Are you kidding or stupid? You know that planting a "chip" in someone cannot track them like in the movies, don't you?

If not... any device that would broadcast a location would have to have both a GPS and a transmitter. Therefore a battery is also required. And that battery would have to be recharged. Think of the smallest cellphone to get an idea of the size required. And think how fast your cellphone battery discharges if you leave a GPS application running in the background.

Implantable RFID "chips" like you chip a dog only respond to a radio interrogation signal within very close proximity. Small chips like a dog gets have to be scanned from no more than a foot away if you are using a very powerful transceiver. Larger RFID tags that can be scanned within a couple meters have to be quite a big larger as they need a larger antenna to power them for their transmission back.

For anyone (maybe only one person) who is too ignorant to understand, the chip would be the one currently available only to the U.S. military (not the one for dogs).

First of all implanting someone with a chip would be unconstitutional.

Second of all, Chapo is a billionaire, whats to stop him from paying a surgeon to remove that chip??

Yeah, that is why I asked the human rights question.

The assumption is that it will take him a bit of time to find a surgeon, unless he has a surgeon already waiting at the end of the tunnel. If his escape is noticed quickly then he can be caught quickly.
Query: Can't they also place senors in the cell? I would suggest placing him in a cell 2 stories above ground level to eliminate the tunnel scenario.

Did you actually read the article? Or just look at the picture?

All the technologies mentioned in that article are short term acting and require either line of sight or a very nearby transceiver.

The picture at the begging of the article is an experimental transmitter that has a theoretical range of less than two miles.

And... you'll notice that the picture does not show a battery, nor a GPS antenna.. The minimum power required for a GPS chip would discharge a AA sized battery in a few days. Never mind the transmitter. These devices are not practically implantable into human body.

Under what country's Constitution? And under what provision?
