Néstor Isidro Pérez Salas, known as "Nini" or "El 19," was a senior security leader for the Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel, led by the sons of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. He directed a group of armed enforcers responsible for protecting the cartel's operations and engaging in violent acts to intimidate and eliminate rivals and law enforcement officials.

Pérez Salas was arrested in Culiacán, Mexico, on November 22, 2023, and extradited to the United States on May 25, 2024. He faces charges in two U.S. jurisdictions. In the District of Columbia, he is charged with importing cocaine and methamphetamine, firearms offenses, and conspiracy to obstruct justice through murder. In the Southern District of New York, he is accused of leading a continuing criminal enterprise that resulted in multiple deaths, including a DEA informant, as well as charges related to fentanyl trafficking, kidnapping, and money laundering​.

The allegations against Pérez Salas include his involvement in the torture and killing of Mexican federal law enforcement officers, members of the Los Zetas cartel, and a witness and informant. He is also accused of testing fentanyl on individuals, resulting in deaths, and participating in the sale of fentanyl in Los Angeles.

In this episode, we take a look at the indictment filed by the United States government that led to the arrest of Nini.

Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was arrested and extradited to the United States on drug trafficking charges. His arrest came after a request from U.S. authorities, which was promptly approved by the Honduran Supreme Court and implemented by the national police.

Hernández was convicted of conspiring to import cocaine into the United States and related firearms offenses. During his presidency from 2014 to 2022, he was accused of using his position to facilitate the transportation of large quantities of cocaine through Honduras to the U.S., in exchange for millions of dollars in bribes from major drug traffickers. This illicit activity was carried out while Hernández publicly supported anti-narcotics measures, creating a facade of cooperation with international drug enforcement efforts.

His involvement in the drug trade included protecting drug shipments with the help of the Honduran police and military, selectively extraditing rivals to the U.S., and receiving financial support from drug cartels to maintain his political power. This corruption and criminal activity were part of a broader narco-state environment in Honduras, which was supported by Hernández's administration​.

There has been a flurry of activity behind the scenes when it comes to court filings lately and one of the bigger ones has to do with camera access to the courtroom.


Bryan Kohberger's legal has asked the Judge to bar cameras from the courtroom after they say that the media isn't following the rules laid out by the Judge and that the camera continues to focus on Kohberger during the proceedings. They have now asked that all cameras be removed for the remainder of the trial.

Judge John Judge has not yet made a ruling but he has already warned the media about this issue. A ruling is expected in the coming days.
