UPDATE from The Wall Street Journal

Mexico Boosts Military Presence After Son of Drug Kingpin ‘El Chapo’ Is Captured
At least 29 people died in the military operation to arrest Ovidio Guzmán in Sinaloa state
Updated Jan. 6, 2023 4:29 pm ET

MEXICO CITY—Mexico bolstered its military presence in western Sinaloa state on Friday after Sinaloa Cartel gunmen went on a rampage following the capture of Ovidio Guzmán, the son of former kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.

Defense Secretary Gen. Luis Crescencio Sandoval said 10 military personnel were killed in Thursday’s operation, including seven where the younger Mr. Guzmán was arrested when armed gang members tried to free him near the state capital Culiacán. Another 35 soldiers were wounded, Gen. Sandoval said at a press conference.

He said 19 members of criminal gangs were killed and 21 arrested. Authorities also seized weapons, including high-caliber machine guns, armored vehicles and some drugs. There were no reports of civilian deaths, he added.

The operation by National Guard and army troops prompted Sinaloa Cartel members to burn buses and trucks to block entrances and exits to Culiacán. They also ambushed security forces along Mexico’s western coast and shot at planes at the city’s airport.

More than 3,500 army and National Guard troops were deployed in the area, and 1,000 more were being deployed Friday. Sinaloa state authorities lifted an order suspending activities in the state and advising people to stay home. Sinaloa airports remained closed Friday.

“Fortunately there has been calm in the last few hours,” Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said during his daily press conference. The streets in Culiacán were being cleared of burned cars that cartel members used to block roads Thursday, he said.

Mr. López Obrador denied that Mr. Guzmán’s capture was related to a bilateral meeting with President Biden to be held in Mexico City on Monday. Security has long been a top item on the country’s bilateral agenda.

“There is cooperation, and it will continue, but we take our decisions as a sovereign, independent government,” he said.

The planned operation in which Mr. Guzmán was captured was kept under wraps by the authorities involved and there was no political consultation within the cabinet, said Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard.

“There is no relation between the police operation and the summit,” he said Thursday.

More found on Telegram:

1. 6 January - (the post with the video talked about the ultimatum the cartel made to the government but no other info... but based on the very next video (#2) it's likely footage of Guzman being transported from where he was being held... I could be wrong )

2. 6 January - Footage of Mexican Military Excorting Ovidio to the Capital

3. "The Mexican Army slide canceling vs sinaloa cartel?"

4. Road block by the Cartel. Villa Unión Exit at the bridge to take the exit to Concordia or the Maxipista to Rosario. This is how things are in the south of the state

(I'm seeing lots of talk about the cartel in fear of him being extradited to the United States and that is playing a huge role in the outbreak of violence)

Haha that slide down the stairs. Great finds.

I'm curious if this is really going to blow up. They got pretty serious last time they arrested him
