Citing Donald Trump, Chapo Guzmán Lawyers Say Drug Lord Can’t Get Fair Trial in U.S.

HeadlineJan 19, 2016

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has also been cited by defense attorneys for notorious Mexican drug lord Chapo Guzmán, who was just recaptured by Mexican authorities. El Chapo’s attorneys are fighting a bid to extradite him to the United States, arguing that he would not receive a fair trial due to discrimination against Mexicans. As evidence, they cite the words of Donald Trump, who has called Mexicans rapists.
