McCaul Statement on Extradition Approval of El Chapo Guzman by Mexico’s Government

WASHINGTON, DC–Today, following the announcement that Mexico’s government has approved extradition of El Chapo Guzman to the U.S. Congressman Michael McCaul released the following statement:

McCaul: "Today is a victory for all the victims of El Chapo Guzman’s reign of terror. I am encouraged by the Mexican government’s decision to approve extradition of this murderous thug to the United States where he will be unable to escape from prison and will have justice brought to him for all of the horrors he has committed as head of the Sinaloa cartel. I urge Mexican authorities to deny any appeal that Guzman’s lawyers may present, and am hopeful that Guzman will soon be in U.S. custody."
