An eyebrow raising report made the rounds today saying that earlier this week, the US authorities had swooped into Belize in a private jet and whisked out the #3 man in El Chapo’s Sinaloa Cartel – a Mexican who was being held at a US safe house in Belize. That’s the kind of story that would make a great Hollywood storyline, but it appears to be little more than just that: a story. Â Ã‚ 

What we do know is that in the regular course of business, the Department of Immigration in Belmopan yesterday processed a variation of sentence for one US fugitive who was in jail in Belize.  An order to leave is now being processed for this male, who has the last name “Cotton.â€￾  He will be picked up in the normal course by US Marshalls. 

Multiple government authorities confirm that this is the only pending US fugitive in Belize, and they know of no extraction by US Law enforcement.
