El Chapo Guzman to be extradited to the US

For those that don't know, El Chapo is (or was) the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel and the most infamous drug dealer in the world. He has escaped from prison in Mexico twice. Assuming the extradition happens, it is a wrap for him. He will almost certainly be convicted in the US and get a life sentence. And unlike Mexico, the US with make damn sure that he doesn't escape.

Quote:

Mexico’s decision Friday to approve the extradition of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán helps clear the way for the infamous drug lord to face what has long been his worst nightmare: living behind bars in a U.S. prison. The extradition of Guzmán, who has publicly claimed responsibility for delivering much of America’s cocaine and heroin and has fought bloody battles with rival traffickers, could still be months or even years away. His lawyers vowed Friday to appeal the ruling by the Mexican Foreign Ministry. But the government’s decision marks a recognition that the political stakes have changed dramatically since Guzmán escaped for a second time from a Mexican federal prison last summer.
