Sinaloa Cartel Members Removed from SDN List

The US Treasury Department removes several individuals and entities associated with the Sinaloa Cartel from the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list. The hosts link this move to a court filing in Chicago where a cartel member claimed immunity due to a deal with the US government. They suggest this is a continuation of the "Fast and Furious" gun-running scandal.
