Fugitive drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman has been captured.
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto confirmed Friday morning with a tweet:
Misión cumplida: lo tenemos. Quiero informar a los mexicanos que Joaquín Guzmán Loera ha sido detenido.

The tweet reads, “Mission accomplished: We have him. I want to inform the Mexicans that Joaquin Guzman Loera has been detained.”
Guzman escaped on July 11th from a maximum-security prison through a tunnel under his cell’s shower.
The capture means that Donald Trump’s bold prediction will probably not come to pass:
The U.S. will invite El Chapo, the Mexican drug lord who just escaped prison, to become a U.S. citizen because our "leaders" can't say no!
