Mexican authorities detained Guzman, the son of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman early Thursday morning.

Members of the cartel responded with hours of violence, road blockades, and shootouts, Reuters report.

The cartel kingpin was flown from Sinaloa to Mexico City where he is at a maximum security federal prison.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said there were no immediate plans to extradite Ovidio to the United States.
