El Chapo's Ex-Wife's Secret US Entry Sparks Deal Speculation
**Griselda López Pérez, Ex-Wife of 'El Chapo,' Enters US Amidst Speculation of Deal with Authorities** Mexico City, May 23, 2025 – Griselda López Pérez, the ex-wife of notorious drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, along with several family members, entered the United States in early May, according to a source within the US government. The clandestine nature of the crossing, coupled with the lack of prior knowledge from the Mexican government, has ignited intense speculation about a potential deal struck between the López Pérez family and US authorities. The family reportedly entered through the San Ysidro border crossing. "A US government source confirmed to CNN that Griselda and a group of her relatives crossed into the US in early May," reported CNN en Español in a recent video. The video further highlighted the lack of information from the Mexican government regarding the situation. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed the issue, stating publicly, "We do not have the official or public information that explains why this family entered." She further criticized the lack of transparency and demanded answers. The situation remains highly sensitive, with questions surrounding the nature of any possible agreement and the implications for ongoing legal proceedings against Ovidio Guzmán, "El Chapo's" son. The event underscores the complex dynamics of drug trafficking and international cooperation in combating organized crime. The lack of transparency from the Mexican government raises concerns about the handling of such sensitive matters involving high-profile figures.
