Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán's ex-wife and 15 other family members allegedly presented themselves to federal U.S. agents at a border crossing last week, Mexican media reported.
The meeting took place at the San Ysidro Border Port of Entry between San Diego and Tijuana on Friday - just three days after it was reported that the jailed drug lord's son, Ovidio Guzmán, would be pleading guilty to multiple charges.
Video footage showed multiple adults and children holding their luggage as they allegedly met with the FBI - which would be the latest sign that the notorious drug lord has flipped on the Sinaloa Cartel.
The group included El Chapo's former spouse and Ovidio's mother, Griselda López; his daughter and her husband; a grandson and several relatives, Mexican journalist Luis Chaparro said on his YouTube show, Pie de Nota, on Monday.
The El Chapo clan abandoned Culiacan, the capital city of Sinaloa, to Tijuana, and then made it into the United States, where they were met by FBI agents.
