### Claudia Sheinbaum Seeks Clarity on ‘El Mayo’s’ Alleged Capture
On January 16, 2025, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, a prominent political figure, announced her intention to request detailed information from Donald Trump, the President-elect of the United States, regarding the alleged capture of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, a reputed leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.
The incident at the center of Sheinbaum’s inquiry reportedly occurred on July 25, 2024, in Culiacán, where Zambada, co-founder of the infamous cartel, was allegedly taken into custody by Joaquín Guzmán López, known as “El Güero Moreno” and the son of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. The same day, in a related event, Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda, a federal deputy-elect and political leader, was purportedly assassinated.
During a press conference held in the Treasury Room of the National Palace, Sheinbaum emphasized the need for transparency from U.S. authorities regarding their involvement in Zambada’s apprehension. She expressed her administration’s plans to formally request information to understand the roles of different agencies involved in the operation, spotlighting the lack of communication from the administration of Joseph Biden.
Sheinbaum stressed the importance of obtaining comprehensive details about the operation, highlighting a gap in information from the previous U.S. government. The forthcoming formal written request aims to bridge this informational gap.
