Senator Enrique Inzunza Cazarez is one of the Sinaloa Ten<\/a> indicted by a U.S. federal court for collusion with the Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an article on May 20th, 2026, I reported that Senator Inzunza had been detained by U.S. authorities. [See Senator, Inzunza Detained; 3 of the Sinaloa Ten Now in U.S. Custody<\/a>]. <\/p>\n\n\n

I need to correct that previous report. In fact, Senator Inzunza was not detained by U.S. authorities and is still in the Mexican Senate. I should have done better research and followed up better. I apologize to my readers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My source for that article was a New York Post article<\/a>, which in turn cited Mexican news media reports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I should have checked into it better and followed the story more closely. Sometimes false reports arise in the media, but if we find they are false we should correct them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senator Inzunza is still free and is still in the Mexican Senate. But he’s been keeping a low profile and staying away from the Senate. That was easy, as the Senate was in recess during the summer. During a recess, the Comisi\u00f3n Permanente<\/em>, a mini-Senate is still in session, but Inzunza stayed away from that too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mexican Senate is about to begin a new plenary session, and Senator Inzunza had announced his intention to attend. There are misgivings within Inzunza’s MORENA party about his situation. On August 26, Inzunza announced <\/a>his departure from the MORENA party delegation of the Senate, to become an independent senator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned for the ongoing Sinaloa Ten drama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
