More Relatives of 'El Chapo' Will Likely Reach The U.S., Former DHS Official Claims
A former official at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said he expects more relatives of drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman to cross the border into the U.S. and surrender themselves to American authorities.
Oscar Hagelsieb, former head of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Mexico's Ciudad Juarez said the 17 members of the Guzman family who crossed into the U.S. earlier this month "won't be the last."
"What I can tell you, and I know it from a source high-up, is that they won't be the last to receive the benefit," Hagelsieb told journalist Luis Chaparro.
The move has been confirmed by Mexican Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, who detailed the move was part of a negotiated agreement tied to younger son Ovidio Guzmán's legal process with U.S. authorities.

Among the relatives who surrendered is Griselda López Pérez, Ovidio's mother and former wife of El Chapo. "It is an agreement between a defendant and the authorities," Harfuch said during an interview reported by El País on Tuesday.
Members of the Guzman family crossed into the U.S. at the San Ysidro port of entry, reportedly on May 9, after traveling from Culiacán, Sinaloa. U.S. federal agents were waiting for them on the other side following the reported plea deal in progress between Ovidio Guzmán and the DOJ.
Ovidio Guzman, who was extradited to the U.S. in September 2023 after his capture by Mexican forces in January of that year, is expected to plead guilty to drug trafficking and money laundering charges during a hearing scheduled for July 9 in Chicago.
Journalist Luis Chaparro, who first reported the family's coordinated crossing, stated that the move was part of a broader request by Ovidio to ensure the safety of his relatives amid ongoing violence in Sinaloa:
A Mexican national security analyst claims that the move is part of a coordinated strategy that reflects a calculated decision within the cartel. Speaking to Luis Chaparro, , Saucedo argued that the move is not a surrender, but a division of roles designed to maintain operational control while gaining protection and legal advantages through cooperation with U.S. authorities.
Saucedo went on to claim that the Guzmán family appears to have made what he called a "corporate decision": one faction, including Ovidio Guzmán López, is cooperating with the U.S. Department of Justice and entering witness protection, while another — led by Iván Archivaldo and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán — remains in Mexico continuing cartel

US lab handling world's deadliest diseases is shut down after 'lover's spat' led to spiteful act
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14711269/ebola-lab-placed-shutdown-halting-disease-research.html
A US government lab studying the world's deadliest diseases been shut down over safety concerns after a spat between two scientists who were romantically involved.
Speaking anonymously, an HHS source revealed that one of the researchers poked a hole in the other's protective equipment during a vicious 'lovers' spat'.
Dr Connie Schmaljohn, the lab's director, was also placed on administrative leave after she allegedly failed to report the incident to other officials.
The taxpayer-funded Integrated Research Facility in Frederick, Maryland, works with lethal viruses like Ebola and lassa fever.
The shutdown was ordered after HHS officials became aware of the incident. Viruses have reportedly been locked away with padlocks while the facility and its staff are investigated.
HHS officials said: 'NIH has implemented a research pause—referred to as a safety stand-down—at the Integrated Research Facility at Fort Detrick.
'This decision follows identification and documentation of personnel issues involving contract staff that compromised the facility’s safety culture, prompting this research pause.'
They added: 'During the stand-down, no research will be conducted, and access will be limited to essential personnel only, to safeguard the facility and its resources.'
An HHS source anonymously told Fox News that the shutdown was related to a lover's spat.
The shutdown was ordered to start from 5pm on April 29, and to continue until officials were satisfied that the lab was safe.
The lab is one of only about a dozen BSL-4 labs in the US, or those with clearance to work on the most infectious and deadly pathogens known to man. It employs about 168 people, including federal workers and contractors.
DailyMail.com has reached out to HHS for comment.
Staff were informed of the shutdown in an email sent by Michael Holbrook, the associate director for high containment at the facility — reported Wired.
'We are collecting as many samples as is reasonable to ensure these studies are of value,' he added in the email.
'We have not been asked to euthanize any animals so these animals will continue to be managed.'
