El Chapo cartel kingpin: I’m sorry for flooding US with drugs

A former Mexican cartel kingpin apologised for flooding the US with cocaine and other substances as he pleaded guilty to drug trafficking.

“I recognise the great harm illegal drugs have done to the people in the United States and Mexico,” Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada told a Brooklyn federal court on Monday through an interpreter. “I apologise for all of it, and I take responsibility for my actions.”

Under the leadership of Zambada and Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, prosecutors say the Sinaloa cartel evolved from a regional player into the largest drug trafficking organisation in the world.

He said the magic word! Release him!

And what would you say to someone who argues it’s a slippery slope that could be used against other professions, and that just because you don’t speak English doesn’t mean that you’re in this country illegally?”

The speedcams have been “severely vandalized” 25 times since last fall, according to the City of Toronto. That includes one camera on Parkside Drive that’s been cut down six times between November 2024 and July of this year.
