Current Event 4



A massive operation in mexico resulted in many arrest. One of the arrest was 56 year old Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. Guzman was the world's top drug lord. He was listed public enemy number 1 by Chicago Crime Commission. Guzman is a prison escapee. He escaped prison in 2001. Mexico is thinking about turning him over to U.S. control to avoid him breaking out again. Last time he broke out was due to prison guards helping him. If he is taken to the U.S. it probably want happen again.


This article relates to English 10. In that class we worked on major issues in other countries, and this is a major issue on Mexico.


I believe this is a great accomplishment for American and Mexican officers. The capture of Guzman can improve living conditions for both Americans and Mexicans. Even though Guzman was a Mexican drug lord he took part in transporting it to the U.S. for sale.


  • How does the author support his claim? Use evidence from the selection to support your answer.



The Author uses many methods to support her claim. The main way the author does is by getting direct evidence from the officers. One officer said “Guzman was found with an unidentified woman” (Caldwell). The problem with many of the quotes is the officers names have to be protected. She also used a man named Vigil to support her claims about Guzman not wanting to stay in the mountains Vigil said "He got tired of living up in the mountains and not being able to enjoy the comforts of his wealth” (Caldwell). Vigil proves Alicia’s claims that Guzman came back so he could enjoy his riches. The author used all of the quotes to help support her claim successfully.
