EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A powerful Mexican drug cartel leader who has been held in Texas since his arrest in the U.S. over the summer does not oppose being transferred to New York to face charges there, according to a court filing Thursday.

Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, co-founder of Mexico's Sinaloa cartel, was arrested along with Joaquín Guzmán López after landing at an airport near El Paso in July.
