Mexican Senator Slams US for 'Red Carpet' Treatment of El Chapo's Family

Mexico's Senator Monreal Condemns US Treatment of 'El Chapo' Family Mexico City – Senator Ricardo Monreal Ávila of the Morena party has strongly criticized the United States government's handling of the arrival of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán's family members. Monreal expressed his concerns in a recent video, calling the US approach incongruous and suggesting a need for a thorough review of bilateral cooperation. "It seems incongruent to me that they have been received with a red carpet," Monreal stated in the video, referring to the US government's treatment of the family. He argued that this preferential treatment undermines the efforts of Mexican authorities in their fight against drug cartels. Monreal's statement highlights a growing tension between the two countries regarding their joint efforts in combating drug trafficking. The senator's call for a review of the collaboration underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability in such sensitive operations. The incident serves as a reminder of the complex and often controversial nature of international cooperation in the fight against organized crime.
