Mexican prosecutors are bringing charges against the younger Guzmán for apparently kidnapping Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada — an older drug boss from a rival faction of the cartel — forcing him onto the plane and flying to an airport near El Paso, Texas
This is a legitimate concern, but I also question Mexico’s ability to adhere to those standards and administer justice correctly when El Chapo managed to give them the slip twice, even while under “maximum security”.
People suspect that this argument is not being made by Mexican authorities in good faith, and it is easy to understand why people think that.
It doesn’t matter if the argument is in good faith, or not. The issue is either nations abide by rule of law, and adjust as necessary, or not. For example, torture being reclassified under GW Bush administration as “enhanced interrogation.” By any good faith reasoning, it was torture, but the AG Yoo authorized it, so technically by the USA, it was within legal limits.
Apparently, this is considered treason by Mexico. It sounds like they’re seriously unhappy about this.
It was kidnapping and extradition without due process.

America doing something wrong doesn’t mean it’s okay for other countries to do that thing as well.
No one said it does; it was an example to illustrate the point, which seems was lost.
So Mexican authorities should stop enforcing the law?
Do you think that in order to deliver him to the US he didn’t commit multiple crimes? Should Mexico grant him amnesty?
God I hate badfaitg
Nah, it’s considered making the narco-president look bad with their bosses, so he is throwing a tantrum… Like he always does.
It was choosing between actually capturing a narco or letting him order to let him go.
“You’re not supposed to take the drugs outside.”
More the handing a Mexican citizen over to foreigners authorities in this case.
