Former drug lord

Mexican La Tuna, Badiraguato, Sinaloa, Mexico

Joaquín Guzmán Loera reportedly sent another letter to a New York court asking U.S. judicial authorities to contact President Claudia Sheinbaum about the possibility of serving his sentence in Mexico. The request was described as a renewed attempt to have his incarceration transferred, but no approval was indicated.

Reports described new letters from El Chapo written from his prison in Colorado, showing that he continued to correspond despite being held in the U.S. federal system. The coverage focused on his persistent efforts to communicate with the court and on the continuing attention around his confinement.
