The intelligence was ignored, particularly because the Peña-Nieto administration loathes the DEA and their presence in Mexico, thus rarely cooperates with the agency. In an interview just after his arrest, retired DEA Agent Phil Jordan told CNN interviewers that “If he does not get extradited, then he will be allowed to escape within a period of time.” Not only did Jordan’s prediction come true but intelligence provided by DEA to the Mexican government in March 2014, just one month after his capture, reported that the Sinaloa cartel had immediately begun working on getting Guzman out of prison. Even though his arrest was hailed as a tremendous achievement for the Enrique Peña-Nieto administration, former and current DEA officials openly feared that Mexico’s government would allow Guzman to escape in a matter of time.
