In Spanish, there is a saying, "Dios los cría y ellos se juntan,"which translates to "God raises them, and they get together." This can apply fittingly to what is happening in the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York, with Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, Néstor Pérez "El Nini," and Genaro García Luna.
Zambada was the co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel with Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. El Nini is identified as El Chapo's strongman and top security man, while García Luna is a former Mexican national Security Secretary being judged for his links to the Sinaloa Cartel.
