Mexican Court Upholds Suspension of Extradition Arrest Order for El Chapo

Another court has upheld the protection order for Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. More here. (Use google translate.)

From what I can understand, a three judge panel of the Collegiate Court has rejected the Mexican Attorney General's request to overturn a District Court Order granting a temporary order of protection to El Chapo against his being turned over to for extradition to the U.S. before he is given a hearing at which he can raise his defenses to extradition.

On a related note, the oldest son of Amado Carillo Fuentes ( El Senor de Cielos) also got a writ of amparo (protection order) granted in the past week. Amado Carrillo Barragán (the son of Amado and Sonia Barragan Espinoza) says police have been to his house in Mexico City to arrest him. The Court ordered he and his mother can't be arrested if its not for a serious crime (felony.) The court ordered PGR to submit documents saying whether there was an arrest warrant for him, but it didn't.
