Overview
- The defense and U.S. prosecutors filed a joint motion saying they reached terms for a guilty plea and asked the court to cancel the June 18 status hearing and schedule a change‑of‑plea for the week of July 27, 2026.
- Oseguera faces U.S. charges of conspiracy to traffic cocaine and methamphetamine, unlawful use of firearms, and criminal forfeiture.
- U.S. authorities have long targeted Oseguera: the Treasury sanctioned him in October 2016, he was arrested in Mexico on December 20, 2022, and extradited to the United States on February 27, 2025.
- Prosecutors allege Oseguera ran CJNG logistics, including renting safe houses and directing an armed cell known as Los Deltas that carried out killings of rivals.
- The filing asks the court to exclude Speedy Trial Act time while plea paperwork is finalized and says sentencing will be set later by the same federal judge who sentenced Rubén Oseguera González in 2025, which could affect ongoing CJNG investigations and possible cooperation disclosures.
