Mexican drug lord Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada has changed his stance regarding his impending trials in the U.S., now accepting being transferred to New York City from Texas after rejecting the possibility days ago.
The development comes just hours after U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone in El Paso rejected a request by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to that end, saying there was no need to take the imprisoned cartel leader again as he had an initial hearing already and the NYC case was not taking priority over hers.
