Mexican Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection Omar Garcia Harfuch said the suspect, identified as Isai \u201cN,\u201d was detained in Nogales, a city in the Mexican state of Sonora, according to a translation of his X post. The criminal operation that led to the suspect\u2019s capture was coordinated by multiple agencies, including the Mexican National Guard.<\/p>\n

In addition to the suspect\u2019s capture, authorities executed a search warrant in Tapachula, Chiapas, and seized 687 kilograms of cocaine, 151 firearms, 363 magazines and 18 grenades, Harfuch said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese actions reflect the permanent coordination of the Mexican State to apprehend priority targets and weaken the operational capabilities of criminal groups. We thank the support and collaboration of the authorities of the Government of Chiapas,\u201d his statement on X read in part.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The suspect\u2019s uncle, El Chapo, got involved in drug trafficking in the late 1980s and eventually became the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, according to an archived version of the State Department\u2019s website. He was arrested in June 1993 in Mexico and sentenced to 20 years in prison on charges related to murder and drug trafficking. El Chapo escaped from a federal maximum security prison in January 2001 before he was re-arrested in February 2014. He escaped from prison again in July 2015.<\/p>\n

El Chapo was re-captured in January 2016, then-Mexican president Enrique Pena Nieto announced in a national address, according to The Guardian. He was extradited to the U.S. in 2017, NBC News reported.<\/p>\n

He is serving a life sentence on various charges, including drug trafficking and money laundering, in a maximum security facility in Colorado, according to CBS News. (RELATED: REPORT: El Chapo\u2019s Son Pleads Not Guilty To Drug Charges In US Court)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ahead of his nephew\u2019s arrest, El Chapo purportedly pleaded for U.S. authorities to transfer him back to Mexico, according to a letter obtained by CBS News. The AFP also reviewed the drug lord\u2019s letters.<\/p>\n

In a letter dated April 23, 2026, and addressed to the Eastern District Court of New York, El Chapo asked authorities \u201cof my rights to be request back [sic] to my country,\u201d according to CBS News. Similarly, in previous letters, the drug lord complained about poor prison conditions, isolation and lack of family visits.<\/p>\n

The drug lord\u2019s nephew has an extradition order, Harfuch said in the X post.<\/p>\n

The Daily Caller contacted The Justice Department (DOJ) and the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City regarding Isai \u201cN\u2019s\u201d arrest, but did not receive comments from either in time for publication.<\/p>\n
