ERO San Francisco removes Sinaloa Cartel member to Mexico
Mario Hidalgo

SAN FRANCISCO — Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations San Francisco removed a Mexican national Jan. 7 to his home country. Mario Hidalgo, 46, is wanted for charges stemming from drug trafficking.

Hidalgo was extradited to the United States from Mexico Oct. 18, 2020, to face federal charges of felony conspiracy to import marijuana. He was convicted by the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California and sentenced to a seven-year prison term. Hildalgo is a close associate of the former Sinaloa cartel leader, Joaquin Guzman, aka El Chapo.

“There is no safe haven for convicted drug traffickers and cartel members in the United States,” said ERO San Francisco acting Field Office Director Orestes Cruz. “This removal exemplifies our officers’ hard work and dedication to enforcing our nation’s immigration laws and public safety.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
