· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Mexican military and security forces announced on Friday the arrest of Misael 'N', known as 'Güero Pink', who, according to Mexican media, is a regional leader of the criminal group Los Chapitos, one of the most significant factions of the Sinaloa Cartel linked to the sons of drug trafficker Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán. In a social media post, the federal Security Cabinet reported that the arrest took place in the city of Escuinapa, in southern Sinaloa, the birthplace of the historic drug cartel designated as a terrorist organization by Washington following Donald Trump's return to power. Mexican authorities accuse 'Güero Pink' of being the regional leader of a criminal cell operating in the southern part of the state and of being linked to investigations into kidnappings and homicides in the area. In Escuinapa, Sinaloa, elements of @Defensamx1, @GN_MEXICO_, and @sspsinaloa1 arrested Misael 'N', alias 'Güero Pink', identified as the regional leader of a criminal cell with a presence in southern Sinaloa and connected to investigations into kidnappings and homicides. He was a 'priority target' for military forces due to his role as the plaza chief of Los Chapitos in southern Sinaloa, according to Mexican media. Additionally, in the same municipality, agents arrested Hilario 'N', former director of Public Safety and Municipal Transit of Escuinapa, in an operation where they seized long guns, magazines, cartridges, tactical gear, and drugs. It is currently unknown if the former official is related to the arrested regional leader of Los Chapitos.
