| Garcia Sota |
Another
extradited person in the group is Jose
Emanuel Garcia Sota, who is charged in the 2011 killing of ICE agent Jaime
Zapata in San Luis Potosi.
Early reports indicate
a number of those extradited were from the Federal Social Readaptation Center
No. 1 "Altiplano" maximum prison now defamed since Joaquin "El Chapo"
Guzman successfully tunneled his way out of the prison, the first successful escape
in it’s history. Speculation is that the
mass extradition resulted from the escape.
El Barbie was arrested
in 2010, he faces multiple charges in Georgia, Texas and Louisiana.
