federal prison: The drug lord was flown to Mexico City late Wednesday and then transported to the Altiplano prison outside the capital, the same prison that Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped from in 2015, according to Metro News. Palma was detained under an arrest order from the western state of Nayarit. Palma had been released from federal prison in California on Friday and put into the custody of U.S. immigration officials. He is accused of ordering the 1995 killings of a deputy police chief and a person who was with the officer, a federal official with knowledge of the case told The Associated Press on Thursday. The person said the deputy police chief apparently worked for the Sinaloa Cartel but decided to switch loyalties to the Arellano Felix brothers of the Tijuana Cartel, and allegedly was killed in retaliation. The official was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
