I guess we know what one topic was.

He was arrested in Sinaloa state, in a joint operation with United States anti-drugs forces.

Guzman was at a hotel in the north-western resort of Mazatlan, the AP news agency reported.

This follows wide spread reports the DEA had a decades long deal with the Sinaloa Cartel to allow them to smuggle tons of marijuana and meth into the country.

Puro Sinaloa
