A Mexican federal judge has ruled that reputed drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman can be extradited to the United States.

From CNN:

The decision was in response to a U.S. Department of Justice extradition request. The ruling does not immediately pave the way for the Sinaloa Cartel boss’ extradition.
Guzman was transferred last week from the maximum-security Altiplano lockup in central Mexico to a prison in Ciudad Juarez, a senior Mexican law enforcement source told CNN.
