Recent arrests reveal more about how cartel wives help run operations for Mexico's powerful Sinaloa cartel

The infamous Sinaloa Cartel is relying on its wives to keep its more complicated operations going, according to cartel operatives, security analysts, and government indictments.

The arrests of Emma Coronel Aispuro, the wife of jailed kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, and of Mia and Olivia Flores, wives of Pedro and Margarito Flores, twin brothers and distributors for the cartel, offer a glimpse of the influence kingpins' wives have over the cartel's operations.

On February 22, Coronel was arrested at Dulles International Airport in Virginia and charged with helping her husband operate the cartel he led for decades. Coronel pleaded guilty to drug-trafficking and conspiracy charges in June.

They're now posting billboards threatening our soldiers and Border Patrol officers with death. Time to clean house, and if the Mexican government doesn't like it clean them out too. All of them are vermin, just like their customers here.

Secretaries, office work, answer the phone with a pretty voice, work or sleep their way up the organized crime hierarchy as the case may be.

Extreme radical feminists. Trans exclusive "TERF" as Chelsea Manning would say.
