The recent surrender of several relatives of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán to U.S. authorities may be tied to conditions outlined in Ovidio Guzmán López's plea agreement, but a Mexican journalist suggests the move could also indicate a possible rift within "Los Chapitos" criminal organization—particularly between Ovidio's half-brothers, Iván Archivaldo and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar. Both remain in Mexico and are believed to be leading the internal war against La Mayiza, the faction led by Ismael Zambada Sicairos, son of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada.
