Infamous Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who twice escaped from maximum-security prisons in his country, was extradited at the request of the United States to face drug trafficking and other charges and arrived in New York late Thursday. "When he completes his sentence in ... the United States, he will return to Mexico to continue" the prosecutions, he said. Besides New York, Guzman faces charges in five other U.S. jurisdictions, including San Diego, Chicago and Miami. In the interview, Guzman was unapologetic about his criminal activities, saying he had turned to drug trafficking at age 15 simply to survive. Mexican officials have repeatedly said they will not pay for a wall.
