Prosecutors said that she \u201cgrew up with knowledge of the narcotics trafficking industry\u201d and married Guzman Loera when she was only a teenager. Prosecutors say that she \u201cknows and understands the Sinaloa Cartel is the most prolific cartel in Mexico\u201d and was \u201caware of multi-ton cocaine shipments, multi-kilo heroin production, multi-ton marijuana shipments, and ton quantity methamphetamine shipments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Authorities say that while Guzman Loera was on the run from authorities from 2012 to 2014, Coronel Aispuro was involved in communicating on his behalf in to help him \u201cavoid capture by Mexican authorities.\u201d The charging documents also highlight how prosecutors know that Coronel Aispuro was involved in the organization\u2019s drug trafficking activities, which includes a letter in FBI possession that was written by Guzman Loera that gives instructions for an activity that prosecutors later linked Coronel Aispuro to. Other letters in the FBI\u2019s possession have led prosecutors to believe that Coronel Aispuro was acting as a \u201cgo-between messenger\u201d between Guzman Loera and his \u201d lieutenants, associates, and sons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Guzman Loera\u2019s sons garnered international attention a couple of years ago after Mexican law enforcement officials captured Ovidio Guzman. Shortly after the arrest happened, hundreds of cartel members stormed the city and essentially forced Mexico\u2019s government to release Ovidio Guzman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph-paragraph-2Bgue ArticleBody-para-TD_9x\">\u201cScenes of mayhem during the operation caused Lopez Obrador\u2019s government considerable embarrassment in October as security forces briefly captured Ovidio in Culiacan, capital of western Sinaloa state, only to let him go hours later as security forces were overwhelmed by cartel forces,\u201d Reuters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-mexico-politics-el-chapo\/mexican-president-says-he-ordered-release-of-el-chapos-son-idUSKBN23Q3AW\">reported<\/a>. \u201cLikely tipped off ahead of the operation, hundreds of heavily armed gunmen from the Sinaloa Cartel had poured into the city of a million people during an hours-long siege, erecting flaming roadblocks and unloading bursts of gunfire in the streets in a coordinated effort to free the younger Guzman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>This is a developing news story, refresh the page for updates.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
