Mexican authorities moved Ovidio “El Raton” Guzman out of a maximum security prison for extradition to the United States. Guzman is the son of imprisoned drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
On Friday afternoon, Mexican federal forces went to a maximum security prison called Altiplano and, under a heavy security operation, moved Ovidio Guzman by helicopter out of the facility. Ovidio’s father, “El Chapo” Guzman, is currently serving a life term in prison in the U.S. for his role as the top leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.

Due to the secretive nature of the operation, it remains unclear when Ovidio’s actual extradition occurred. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland revealed Orvidio was extradited to the U.S. on Friday.
