United States Marshal for the Eastern District of Wisconsin announces the arrest of Arthur Lopez Jr.

MILWAUKEE – Kevin A. Carr, United States Marshal for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, and Nancy McNamara, Special Agent in Charge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Milwaukee Division, announced the arrest of Arthur Lopez Jr.. The only alleged member of a notorious family drug ring in Milwaukee that had evaded arrest for eleven years was taken into custody last night by the Mexican Agencia Federal de Investigacion (AFI) in Monterrey, Mexico. As AFI investigators were closing in on Lopez, he surrendered to the U.S. Consulate.

Lopez had been featured on the Fox television program ‘America’s Most Wanted’. In February of this year, an anonymous caller to the program led investigators from the US Marshals, the FBI and the AFI to Monterrey, Mexico. The search intensified over the last month when investigators confirmed that Lopez was using the alias of Roberto Gonzalez-Orozco.

Marshal Carr credited teamwork for the capture of Lopez. “The combined efforts of the US Marshals, the FBI, the AFI, the US Attorney’s Office and the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) were essential to the success of this fugitive investigationâ€

That would be nice, but mexico will never agree to extradite this scum bag if he's facing the death penalty. Just another example of how mexico has us over the barrel. Their citizens and drug lords flee to their beloved mexico to elude capture after committing horrendous crimes in this country; and then we have to grovel at the feet of mexico to get them back, including agreeing to no death penalties.

Every week Mexico extradites Mexicans to the U.S.
If they face the death penalty the U.S. just agrees to life in prison without parole and they send them on over.

I didn't say they wouldn't extradite or they don't extradite. I simply stated a fact which is the death penalty cannot be on the table in order for mexico to sign an order of extradition.

Of course the US simply pursues a term of life....
