Ovidio Guzman, a son of imprisoned Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, was extradited to the United States on Friday to face fentanyl trafficking charges, in a boost for the Biden administration's push to curb the spread of the deadly opioid.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said Ovidio Guzman's extradition was the latest step in American efforts to attack "every aspect" of the drug trafficking operations run by the Sinaloa Cartel long associated with the Guzman family.

"I am also grateful to our Mexican government counterparts for this extradition," Garland said in a statement. "The Justice Department will continue to hold accountable those responsible for fueling the opioid epidemic that has devastated too many communities across the country."

Bread and circuses. The border has to be sealed. The mules have to be taken down.

"Biden administration's push to curb the spread of the deadly opioid."

Meanwhile, the border is wide open, with convoys of tractor trailers filled with the poison coming in unnopposed.

It is positive. However it is merely another arrest. The war on drugs continues without interruption and with the bad guys still winning.

Not a very big win now that Jo Jo the official White House Pedophile decided they won’t be processing crap coming into America from Mehico in trucks anymore so the boyz and gurlz at the border will have more time to process the diapers full of crap being lugged around by the illegals’ kids.

Execute all drug dealers and traffickers. All within one year of a guilty verdict.

As for the fentanyl, it is efficiently removing many undesirables from the population. They CHOOSE to use and pay with their lives.
