"Socalj" for Borderland Beat
Friday the 13th is the first appearance for Isamel "El Mayo" Zambada-Garcia in a New York federal courtroom after being transferred from El Paso, Texas. The scheduled initial hearing is in the same courtroom that saw former Sinaloa Cartel leader "El Chapo" receive a life sentence, and the same prosecutor has filed a letter with the Judge ahead of the hearing. The filing details the flight risks associated with Mayo and background on violent crimes and trafficking for his first New York hearing in order to ensure he is denied bond and not released before his trial.
Journalist Keegan Hamilton has highlighted some of the key points mentioned in the latest filing by US Attorney Breon Peace who also won convictions against Genaro Garcia Luna, and Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera.
