Overview
- Mexico’s security forces, which moved in Wednesday, concentrated on Badiraguato and nearby mountain towns to track Aureliano “El Guano” Guzmán.
- A government statement said 10 Gente del Guano members were arrested in La Cebadilla, Tamazula, including his deputy identified as Abel “N”.
- Officials said Guzmán was not among those detained and that troops remain deployed as the search continues.
- The push used Black Hawk helicopters and Texan II aircraft, and Culiacán’s airport closed for a time during the flights.
- Mexico said intelligence from U.S. and national agencies guided the arrests, signaling tighter cross-border cooperation against his faction.
