• Drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman begged Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador to help move him from a U.S. prison to a Mexican one. In response, AMLo said on Wednesday that he would consider El Chapo’s plea.
• According to the Mexican lawyer who represents the drug lord, Jose Refugio Rodriguez, El Chapo has been living in “cruel and unfair” conditions since he was booked into prison. The narco, he claims, does not have adequate access to sunlight, is not allowed visitors, is not given good food, and is not provided with medical care.
