Sean Penn's long and often rambling Rolling Stone essay based on his interview with Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman — which included comments from Guzman on everything from his childhood to his thoughts on the drug trade — has been widely mocked on social media.

Guzman met with Penn and Mexican actress Kate del Castillo in his hideout in Mexico months before his recapture by Mexican marines in his home state of Sinaloa, according to Rolling Stone. The magazine published Penn's article on Saturday, the day after El Chapo was recaptured.

The whole affair raised many questions, as well as eyebrows.

Many online were unimpressed, but had fun with it.

If the CIA had just made Rolling Stone send Sean Penn to interview bin Laden in 2001 it would have saved us all a lot of time

At the very least, Sean Penn just gave me the confidence to believe I deserve to be a published author too.

Sean Penn is really on some next level stuff I thought Shia Lebouf was the next step in human evolution I might have been wrong

— @minimcconaughey
Sean Penn has done for journalism what Milli Vanilli did for singing.

— @cbctom
After El Chapo, assume Sean Penn will be correspondent on 60 Minutes and Lesley Stahl on Golden Globes red carpet duty.

— @davidcommon
Others, like actor Mark Ruffalo, came to Penn's defence. 

Before you get too excited don't forget Sean Penn has been working as a journalist for over a decade now. https://t.co/TRCcBe6Xae

— @MarkRuffalo
But, he was overshadowed by the jokes....

However, some of the more serious critics pointed to what they saw as an unethical story. 

Why didn't Sean Penn ask El Chapo how many real journalists his organization has killed?

Your move, Dennis Rodman #SeanPenn

Because he didn't hesitate to kill anyone who was a threat to his drug organization before they could kill him.....and like the old Mafia, he was "Capo di tutti capi" and once you were a member of the organization there was only one way out.

Mexican judge rules drug lord El Chapo can be extradited to U.S.

A Mexican judge has ruled that Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman can be extradited to face drug trafficking charges in the United States, the country’s federal court authority said on Monday, days after he was moved to a prison near the U.S. border.

A source at the foreign ministry said nothing was likely to happen for weeks, however. Early Saturday, Guzman was moved to a high security prison in the northern city of Ciudad Juarez.

I can't phantom HOW, he is still alive? And WHY wasn't he executed by Mexico?. And HOW did he keep escaping?
It is as if both countries, are just playing with this guy, & costing both governments a fortune.

... And on that day,
America mourns 'no big loss'.

Sean Penn should be investigated by the DOJ & the FBI, for all his criminal associates.
Dennis Rodman, should of been a long time ago, for his associating with Kim Jong UN.

So feed up with politicians & famous or famous for not being famous, getting away with bizarre & IMO opinion, UN American antics.
Lots of people, should of been charged with treason.

Mexico has approved 'El Chapo' Guzmán's extradition, but he could still delay it for years

On Friday, the Mexican Foreign Ministry announced that it had approved the extradition of jailed drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán to the US to face charges including drug trafficking, homicide, and money laundering in Texas and California.

Coming after two rulings by two Mexican judges, the ministry’s decision effectively clears the way for Guzmán’s transport to a US courtroom. But, as US experts and Guzmán’s own lawyers have said, the kingpin still has means to fight his transfer.

“We expected it. It is no surprise,” Jose Refugio Rodriguez, one of Guzmán’s lawyers, said of the ministry's decision in an interview with Milenio TV, according to The Associated Press.

Guzmán “knows and is conscious that the real battle against extradition is going to be waged through the constitutional appeals process,” Rodriguez said, adding that the kingpin could stay in Mexico for one to three years as the appeals process plays out.

Guzmán now has up to 30 days to appeal the decision, after which a judge will decide how to move forward. His defense team has at least two attempts to appeal, according to The Washington Post, which could last months.

"It kind of sounds crazy because he was first apprehended two or three years ago. So a lot of people think, "Oh, you got him, just bring him across the border," David Shirk, a professor at the University of San Diego and the director of the school’s Justice in Mexico program, told Business Insider prior to the ministry’s decision. "They forget one important consideration, which is there is a process."

“There's both a sort of technical process and what we can think of as due process. I mean, there's the technical steps,” Shirk said, referring to the diplomatic and bureaucratic wrangling involved in the extradition process, “and then there's the fact that he actually has some rights.”

The Sinaloa kingpin, apprehended in January after his July breakout, has been in Mexican custody for more than four months, and the “extradition process with Mexico can take anywhere from six months to over six years,” Mike Vigil, the former chief of international operations for the US Drug Enforcement Agency, told Business Insider.

The Mexican government’s approval of extradition came less than two weeks after Guzmán was suddenly transferred from a high-security jail in central Mexico (one that he broke out of in July 2015) to another one near Ciudad Juarez, not far from El Paso, Texas.

The relocation fueled speculation that Guzmán —who has signaled his willingness to cut a deal with the US under certain conditions — was about to be sent north, an unlikely assumption, according to Vigil.

“Just because they put him there doesn't mean that it's imminent, hardly the case. Because under the extradition treaty, the attorneys" can file legal injunctions, Vigil told Business Insider before the ministry issued its decision.

“And for every injunction … that the defense attorneys will file, under the Mexican extradition treaty, they have to hold a judicial hearing for each and every … injunction, which takes a lot of time,” Vigil added.

In particular, Guzmán’s attorneys have seized on the prison transfer, arguing that it hurts the drug lord’s defense because the new prison is far from the court dealing with his case.

Rodriguez told the AP that Guzmán could be transferred back to the original prison if jail officials deem the conditions acceptable.

Vigil also suggested Guzmán could try to strong-arm his way out of extradition using violence and intimidation. There is “a very strong possibility that he will launch a frontal assault on the Mexican government, to try to intimidate the government to stop his extradition," Vigil told the AP.

Future developments in the case — however far down the road they happen — could also come unexpectedly, as the Mexican government will likely try to keep the legal proceedings under wraps.

“It seems to me that the pattern has been when extradition happens, they happen in a swift and usually unexpected fashion, insofar as the authorities don't want people to know that someone's being moved because that could obviously lead to a jailbreak attempt or something like that,” Shirk said.
