Borderland Beat reports that this past February Chicago declared Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán its first "Public Enemy No. 1" since Al Capone
Jack Riley, head of the DEA's Chicago office, told CNN: "While Chicago is 1,500 miles from Mexico, the Sinaloa [Federation] drug cartel is so deeply embedded in the city that local and federal law enforcement are forced to operate as if they are on the border."
