El Chapo Guzmans' wife has twins in L.A. county Hospital



LA TIMES

The spaces for “Name of Father” are blank. But the L.A. County birth certificates list the mother, who happens to be the young wife of one of history’s biggest and most sought-after drug lords, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.

Emma Coronel traveled to Southern California in mid-July, and on Aug. 15 gave birth to twin girls at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, according to birth records and a senior U.S. law enforcement official.

Turns out Coronel, a 22-year-old former beauty queen, holds U.S. citizenship, which entitles her to travel freely to the U.S. and to use its hospitals. By being born in California, her little girls now also have U.S. citizenship.

Full coverage: Mexico's drug war

Guzman, 54, the multibillionaire fugitive head of the Sinaloa cartel, married Coronel the day she turned 18 at a lavish wedding in the highlands of central Mexico in 2007. She is believed to be his third or fourth wife and is a niece of Ignacio “Nacho” Coronel, a one-time partner of Guzman who was killed in July 2010 in a shootout with the Mexican army.

U.S. federal agents apparently kept tabs on Emma Coronel even before she crossed the border at Calexico, through her hospital stay and until she left the country to return to Mexico. Although her husband tops most-wanted lists on both sides of the border, Coronel was not arrested because there are no charges against her, the law enforcement official said.

While she no doubt could have provided useful information on her husband’s whereabouts, drug agents have said the problem with apprehending Guzman has less to do with finding him and more with how Mexican troops can seize him. He surrounds himself with enormous bands of well-armed security and tends to stick to isolated, mountainous regions that are difficult to reach, agents say.

Coronel’s presence in the Los Angeles area and other parts of Southern California did not seem to attract attention. At the Antelope Valley Hospital, a spokeswoman declined to comment, citing privacy rules.

Birth certificates show the girls were born Aug. 15 at the Lancaster facility. The first came into the world, at 3:50 p.m. Her sister followed at 3:51.

In the spaces for the mother’s signature, Coronel opted to print her name.

Guzman, whose nickname means “Shorty,” is about 5 feet, 6 inches tall. He was arrested in 1993, but escaped prison in 2001 by bribing guards to hide him in a laundry basket.

U.S. authorities have placed a $5-million bounty on Guzman’s head and allege he and the Sinaloa cartel now control the bulk of cocaine and marijuana trafficking into the U.S. from Mexico and Colombia. Guzman’s forces last year moved into Mexico’s northeast shoulder around the border state of Tamaulipas, and he may currently be behind a ferocious push of gunmen into the coastal state of Veracruz to challenge the Zetas gang that dominates there. Scores of people have been killed or gone missing in recent days.

Coronel is said to have first caught Guzman’s eye when she entered the regional Miss Coffee and Guava beauty contest. He made his interest known, and she was crowned queen of the pageant. They married a few months later.

  1. They should hold them and thier mother in a containment cell and require thier asshole father to come and get them. If he is to chicken shit they can sit there and rot. Why should the U.S. spend a dollar on these worthless people. Fuck them.

  2. Atleast he had respect and waited till 18 and married her most guys just fuck them. What a stud. not even usa wants to capture him.

  3. Can you explain how and why the post was changed to remove some personal information? No need to reveal what the information was exactly.

  4. Another example of why the war on drugs is a faux. The one person that could lead you directly to El Chapo is being followed around and nothing is done to stop and question her about his whereabouts. Give me a effn break. It would seem more like these law enforcement officials were more like providng security for her.

  6. Sounds like the DEA is doing EL Chapo a favor protecting her.

  7. Wow ain't that some bullshit? Not illegal, but unethical.

  8. Chances that she travels and lives with Chapo all the time are slim. Holding her would not even bring him out of his cave in the sierra madre. She traveled to the states knowing the US couldn't do shit to here because there are no charges against her. You don't think Chapo has some high attorneys to look into that before she travels? The US doesn't want to capture Chapo just yet, they need him in the war against the Z's plain and simple.

    ReplyDelete
  9. No doubt Chapo has a team of high powered attorneys looking in all sorts of different directions for him. He has to know the ins and outs of international law. Not just US laws. You don't get on the Forbes billionaire list all by yourself or being nieve...

    ReplyDelete
  10. They should have held her and the kids and made Chapo turn himself in! Its totally a bunch of bullshit and both the Meican and US governments are just as criminal and just as guilty as ANY cartel operating in Mexico and this is just MORE PROOF of that, allowing her free reign just shows who is running what, Chapo calls ALL the shots! If it was ANY different they would have snatched her up the first chance that they had...

    I am surprised another cartel hasnt got to her...

  11. WHAT INFORMATION WAS REMOVED AND WHY?

    ReplyDelete
  12. I find it humorous that someone questioned why the u.s. should spend money on the twins and mother. Using "common sense" (Thomas Paine 1774) I don't think they relied on any monetary governmental help in paying for the hospital stay. Ha ha. O thought I might add something interesting. Lancaster/palmdale/victorville/Hesperia those surrounding areas. All cells of "him" I know... and they had many people making sure her hospital stay and trip back was safe. Wink wink

  13. Totally agree with DFL!

    Anon 10:54 the hell with the laws, the US could pin some type of terrorist label on her and put her in GITMO. Let Chapo try to get her there!

  15. I remember Emma when she was just 13 working part time in a small family owned eatery talking about how she just wanted to get out of Canelas, Dgo. Looks like she got what she wanted and then some. Seems like the US Government is protecting her to an extent, they definetly could have used her as bait, but as we know it is all theatrics and business as usual.

    ReplyDelete
  16. ROFL, the DEA probably took her to the Hospital.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Maybe you guys need to re-read the article...U.S. officials have said the problem isn't finding Chapo rather capturing him because he is well protected! They know his whereabouts....the Mexican gov't (for whatever reason..hint corruption) has failed to apprehend him. Just like the wedding..by all accounts a huge event..however, the Mexican gov't failed to act because they were afraid of causalities..

    ReplyDelete
  18. N---

    There has to be a strategic reason he had his kid delivered in a U.S. Hospital. It seems awkward that he would want to have his baby with U.S. citizenship with there names already in the system. If they were not U.S. citizens they would still be able cross with different identities. Maybe its the kush that is cauzing me to be a little bit more curious about an event like this. Maybe a strategic move on Chapitos part.

  19. What are the chances this whore and her scumbag twins now have gps implanted somewhere in their bodies? I would say chances are close to 1000% percent.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I am pretty sure there will be a terrorist attack (sorry, drug war impasse) on the hospital that gave her and her DEA body guards a safe haven in the US. The USA idiots have got absolutely NO idea of how Guzman and his enemies do business. That hospital is now a very very legit target.

    A hand grenade into the antenatal clinic in Lancaster Hospital, LA, 15+ dead newborn babies, and an outraged public. But they won't accept drug lords' pregnant wives again, will they?

    This is the perfect tactic. The US public outrage at what has gone on will force the FEDS to go after Chapo. Ideal for his enemies.

    Finally, so what if they have nothing on her. They have nothing on the guys at Gitmo, but they don't worry about that.

    I would put her and her children in Gitmo, and go after his mother, and imprison her in Gitmo too. It's what he does to others. Its how they got Pablo Escobar. I guess Chapo has paid off the USA cops anyway.

  21. Come, on Capo. She does't need El Chapo's money, she is the niece of Nacho Coronel, who in 2008 was even more powerful than chapo. she could had all the money she wanted from his uncles, cousins,brothers and even from her father. I bet Emma's wedding was more Indian style, you know " Oiga compadre Nacho, i like your nice, presta pa la orqusta, what you say? sure compa chapo, let me talk to her."

    ReplyDelete
  22. That bitch is lucky she wasn't picked up by a rival cartel..eventually she will be single again, after her husband gets killed or apprehended and sentenced to life. She's lucky she has dual citizenship..so she can visit that douche bag in prison, in the U.S. of course (all good things come to an end..eventually the midget will outlive his usefulness and he will be either killed or captured to serve the greater good of the Mexican Gov't).

  25. No cartel is stupid enough to attack her, and her newborns, that will unleash the full power and brutallity that CDS is capable of unleashing upon there enemies. Chapo would be even more ruthless and merciless then he has been up to now on all his enemies let alone the people directly responsible for that, they would be slaughterd like animals along with there family's.

    ReplyDelete
  26. She is Nacho's Coronels niece and Nacho Coronel's brother her father was also a narco. That whole family has been pushing weight for years. So they have had established money for some time. She didn't marrry him because she needed it, she maybe liked the fact he was a powerful drug lord. The narcos in Mexico especially Sinaloa have married into narco families. For example, Alfredo " Mochomo " Beltran married Chapos sister. The Zambadas smaller son married Manuel Torres Felix's daughter. The Beltrans and Guzman Loeras are distant cousins etc. etc. The fact of the matter, she is still a human being and the kids are at no fault of being born to a narco. The ones that are condemning them to death are some sick bastards. If anybody has seen the special on Pablos son and what he and his mother have been thru you would know that just because they were born into that life doesn't mean you want to be a part of it.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yah, why are we in Iraq and Afganistan? The second we leave it will go right back to the way it has been for thousands of years. If we went to help out Mexico, maybe we could really do some change! As far as the birth goes,the US news should have outed them by saying "Guess who is giving birth today in Lancaster?!?! In Room 345, under the name.....", and then leave it up to them to defend themselves. I'm sure some of parents of the kids he has killed would love to follow them home, or use them to draw that little munchkin beaner out! If they were smart they would have dropped a tracking device in one of their diapers. But I have a feeling he doesn't have much to do with the kids from his four other wives.

  28. The U.S could end all of this nonsense in a second if it wasnt for bullshit politicians at the top playing economic and political games. You think for a second the united states doesnt know where this guy is? YEAH SUREEEE. It has nothing to do with the money chapa has because trust me a few billion dollars is a drop in the bucket when it comes to wall street. ( which in case you haven't figured out owns and runs America). It is all about nafta, corporate dollars, and ability to employ cheap as shit labor in mexico for U.S entities. America has a vested interest in keeping mexicans poor... in all honestly we dont care how many of you chop each other up. Your instability creates our ability to rake in more $. If Chapa was muslum from Iraq, Afghanistan, or Pakistan, and even had 100X the money he has now his ass would have been awoken with a tomahawk missile to the forehead. The united states could do so this instant to him in mexico but because of the monopoly game that is politics it wont happen.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Yeah, Wall Street has money, pero they love to launder all the money that he is accumulating.<--Man, I love when I use big words on blogs like this and also when I utilize my impeccable grammar and spelling.

    Aside from gloating, the war on drugs will never be successful. All the money being made on both sides of the fence, both the border and prison fences. Money is being made to incarcerate people for selling and using drugs. Then money is being made off the people selling and using drugs.

    It's a win-win situation for the people who are running the show which includes local, state, and federal governments, cartels, and private prison industries..

  31. there is something like 26 trillion dollars being played with on wall street. Trust me no one gives a rats ass about some mexican drug lord who has an estimated 1 billion dollars even if he had every penny invested on wall street which he doesnt. Hell the guys who own google could buy chapo 100 times and still have more than enough money to life a life of more extravagance than any of us could ever even dream of. Same goes for the people who own facebook, walmart, general electric, ford, amazon, Berkshire Hathaway.. etc. Fuck i mean tiger woods has more money than the "worlds biggest drug lord." The thing is no matter how much money he accumulated what can he do with it? Ride around with an army covering his ass. Whats the point in being rich if you are hold up and looking over your shoulder 24/7. Its not like he can jump in a plane to go on a 3 week getaway to disneyland. Look into how pablo escobar lived his last months. His son has told stories how the two of them could be held up in a room for days on end, sometimes with no food, no warmth, and a huge pile of cash sitting in a corner. He always thought that was the strangest thing but alas its the paradox of being a drug kingpin.

  32. Many uneducated comments.
    all i have to say is that Chapo will never be captured, and well we gotta accept it because it is out of our reach. and regarding his wife and kids stop insulting them.

  33. Why didn't the American government just call her a suspected muslim sleeper agent and throw her away at guantanamo bay.

  34. Humorous comments. Ha. Not only can the hierarchy of the u.s. take out opposing threats; such as, activist, terrorist, Mafias, and more. Mexico can do the same. But choose not to, just like other foreign countries choose not to annihilate the red Mafia, yakuza, Sicilian, etc. Economist project Mexico's economy to be behind u.s, China, Brazil, and India in ten years. If they wanted they could take out any "cartel executive". Easy! I mean executive because they oversee logistics, production, management, research and development. But, its cocaine, Meth, cannabis, heroin, etc. Not your ordinary products or services. Remember its a business. Whenever you get rid of executives, there will be change. Positive or negative. Many top s&p companies have declined do to many changes. If you start eliminating various pieces of the companies. Things may get worse.

  41. Capture her and hold her? Are you insane. Of course she has no clue where Chapo is. That's the whole point. Chapo knew she was going to go to America to give birth, that's why he makes sure she doesn't know where he is. Hell, he probably hasn't seen her in 9 months. If you thought of it, then Chapo has already thought of it, cuz trust me he's smarter than you. And I'm pretty sure our tax payers didn't foot the bill. I'm sure she paid for her $20,000 hospital stay with a shiny black AmEx card. She doesn't need MediCal or social security

  44. All the young girls in Mexico dream of being a cartel or plaza bosses girl. The music, the sensationalized lifestyle and the money are the lure.

    Emma is different. She was a product of and arranged marriage. I doubt her uncle or her father were thrilled about El Chapo having her. But it is what it is, the boss wanted her. She didn't marry him because of his looks, his charm, his money, or because he was good in bed (lol). She married him because her parents and uncle didn't want to embarrass this asshole. That was all it was, and he has another trophy wife.

    The US could have held them as she was a "Material Witness" to people engaging in a Continuing Criminal Enterprise. That is, if the law is still used, but I haven't heard of it in years.

    Emma is just a baby herself and was forced into a relationship with someone she would have never picked. And her twins belong to the same God we do, lay off them.

I doubt chapo guzman is ignorant like some ppl he is a billionare and that takes alot of brain to be. Children are a blessing from God so be respectful when u speak of children.

  48. Now you see what Vicente-El Mayito was talking about when he said the Sinaloa has a GO FREE card. If this was any other Druglords wife, they could easily hold her for harboring a fugitive and how about this; they do it to black mothers of drug dealers all the time; take their kids and put em into the foster care system. And then let her travel back home, that's NUTTZZ.
    So yeah, like Vicente said, dude really works for our US Govt/CIA so that's why they don't want to catch him. He makes them too much Tax Free Money.

  49. CHAPO KNOWS SOMETHING THE US GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW, thats why he is doing this he have information that will be a an embarrassment to the USA that why he can get away with this, is so stupid that Mexico has an army of 200 thousand and they cant catch one man, it really shows their low level of incompetence and corruption level, if i was the president my number one job would be to catch the number one most wanted man in Mexico, fuck Nuevo Leon I would order 20-30 thousand troops men in sinola cut off their pot supply and shoot to kill anyone who engage the army, Mexico has drones and satellite and night vision goggles,Tough terrain in the Mexican Durango mountain my ass thats their home land, they should know it inside out. But I'm sure CHAPO knows something thats why the us is not pressuring Mexico to go after him.

  53. I know some of you may disagree
    but drugs are here to stay.

    so even if chapo goes down blah blah FN blah we still have to have drugs in our country there will be another group / country to pick up where someone else left off.

    And don't any of you people realize that drugs arn't that bad, people have been doing them for years, and will continue to.

    How can you stop the import of drugs? That is like saying you are going to stop the import of bananas. Drugs are another commodity just like anything else in life.

    I'm cool with whoever (not saying i support chapo) except one group I don't really care for is the Los Zetas..

    Anyway whatever keep trying to stop drugs you are just like the other sheep that actually believe the governments are trying to stop drugs. They arn't trying to stop them, they are just curbing them and also getting a pretty penny in their pocket when the days done.

  54. And the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is ok with this?

    A Mexican drug capo sends his "wife" in on his private plane. Do the pilots and the security people and the rest of the entourage all have visas or citizenship? And everybody, including the LA Times, kept it quiet until she was gone?

    Shame, shame.

  55. She left the "father's name" blank so she didn't have to pay the hospital bill. AFDC (taxpayers) pays for the delivery if there is no father identified. She didn't do it for secrecy because she knew the truth would come out soon.

  56. @ tyyy I was addicted to drugs for 18 years, and I can tell you, is all about the people you hang around with, the lack of supervision of the parents and the lack of self distraction.
    No one in this world needs drugs to survive, have fun, or to be successful in life, but in the other hand the drugs are good to kill your dreams and hopes.
    In the 18 years of drug use I came around a lot good people who in turn became thieves, malicious people, back stabbers, and two face mother fuckers, and many more thing that come with that territory. But of course some people will think drugs are not dangerous.

    When I was a child I was drug free and my friends were real friend not the type of people that will hang around me just to get high, you better believe me when I say that more bad things happened when you are around drugs that when you are not.

    Better education and more supervision on kids will minimize the drug abuse. I was able to stop using drugs all by myself because I was tired of being a fucking looser, many of the people I hang around with in Logan Heights are dead, in jail were deported or are dealing drugs, they think they are bad but in reality they are a bunch of cowards who are afraid of their own shadows.

  58. State prison inmate count in Texas, Florida, California, New York and Illinois is close to 1,000,000. The cost for each inmate is $35,000 a year. That inmate cost for 5 states, not including inmates in county jails is $35,000,000,000 if my math is correct. This doesn't eve touch welfare costs for the mothers and children. I'm not sure we can afford this war on drugs anymore.

    Looking at it like that, 2:50 PM, I could care less who paid the hospital bill. The tax payers are getting hosed and encouraged to like it so their world feels safe.

  60. @ #:33 PM...Thanks for your openness.

    The answer is JOBS not JAILS. We need to rebuild the US to where it once was. When Made in the USA meant it was the best product you can buy. We need to make treatment for addicts available for any that want it. And we need to legalize drugs for those that don't want to quit, regulate the drugs, and write them off any benefits. If we took the need for crime out of the addict, the US would be a lot safer.

    ReplyDelete
  61. @4:12 how can you care less who paid the hospital bill? You enjoy getting hosed? Or are you just giving up? Or are you in Mexico where paying taxes is a new concept?

    I'm not referring to welfare costs for mothers and children, I'm referring to welfare costs for that woman and her children and their pos father.

    Texcoco Mex said Please be real, some people in the outside don't make 20,000 a year and they manage to survive. So how can the government spent 35,000 a year on an inmate.
    Making 15 an hr don't get me close to the 35,000 maybe they feed the inmates fresh Caviar and Champagne.

    I'm sorry anon but I don't believe this.
