C10-2 El Chapo extradited

The well known drug lord El Chapo has been captured again and despite his numerous captures and escapes this time looks like the last. Being the leader of a large drug ring he has escaped from multiple Mexican prisons with many factors such as more people working for him, lower grade prisons, and inside people. Now that he is in the United States that will change. While most of that seems more crime related news, the United States is seeking 14 billion from him now that he is captured which brings politics into the mix. As many know now that Trump is president he is seeking money from mexico to build a wall and with el chapo now captured and put in the United States, Trump could use that as leverage to get the money for the wall. On the other side Mexico could give the United States the money for el Chapo but then say they owe nothing else towards the wall as the money from the drug lord could cover both.
