# AMLO Once Again Criticizes US for Withholding Information on “El Mayo” and “El Chapo’s” Son
On August 5, 2024, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador once again expressed his frustration with the United States government for not providing information about the capture or extradition of notorious drug lord Ismael Mario Zambada Garcia, known as “El Mayo,” and Joaquín Guzmán López, also known as “El Güero Moreno.” The latter is the son of the infamous Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.
During his morning press conference, held at the Treasury Hall in the National Palace, López Obrador indicated that he would address the information request on August 6, 2024. “Now that we’re dealing with Mr. Zambada, we are asking for the information. Tomorrow the Security Cabinet will join us, and we will discuss this further,” he said.
When asked if there was certainty about how the arrests occurred, López Obrador stated, “We don’t have all the details yet.” He explained that while Mexican agencies have made some progress, they are still waiting for a detailed report from the U.S. government.
A reporter questioned whether it was appropriate for “friends” to delay sharing critical information. López Obrador responded, “Yes, you have patience with friends, and we shouldn’t rush. We represent our people and are not puppets of any foreign government.”

### Plane Carrying “El Mayo” and “El Chapo’s” Son to the US Departed from Culiacán: Journalist’s Report Based on FBI Source
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a Beechcraft King Air aircraft that transported Ismael Mario Zambada Garcia, alias “El Mayo,” and Joaquín Guzmán López, alias “El Güero Moreno,” to the United States did not take off from Hermosillo as previously speculated. Instead, it departed from Culiacán in Sinaloa and landed at Doña Ana Airport in New Mexico.
Journalist Peniley Ramírez revealed this information in her opinion column ‘Linotipia,’ published on August 3, 2024. According to a confidential source, less than 15 minutes after departing, Guzmán communicated with his U.S. contact, stating he was en route to Doña Ana Airport and had “El Mayo” with him. The flight expenses were reportedly covered by Guzmán.
Further details revealed that the aircraft had its registration number, N287KA, adhesively affixed rather than painted, in violation of aeronautical regulations. U.S. authorities were aware of the flight’s true nature once it entered American airspace.
Despite the evidence, Mexican authorities have yet to confirm the flight’s records or the aircraft’s existence in official channels. Overlapping registration numbers and the aircraft’s history have complicated the investigation.
Ramírez’s scenario underscores the complexity of tracking aviation activities in narco-trafficking operations. Remote airstrips like El Zorrillo in Chihuahua serve as critical yet often unmonitored points for both legal and illicit flights.
This capture has sparked further inquiries into how narco-traffickers exploit commercial and semi-legal aviation channels to evade law enforcement, raising alarms about regulatory enforcement in Mexico and the United States.
