By Nomaan Merchant NEW YORK — El Chapo needs his head examined. The Mexican drug kingpin and escape expert hears things, is depressed, repeats himself and forgets what he’s talking about, according to a new defense filing. A.

Since Guzman’s January extradition from Mexico to a solitary cell in a lower Manhattan lock up, defense lawyers have complained about the harsh conditions and their effects on Guzman. But in the last month, there’s been a "marked deterioration" in his mental state, Balarezo said.

She was taken from the hospital after surgery to a San Antonio facility, where she
was in the custody of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. To get to the hospital, the cousin took her through the Texas border city of Laredo to Corpus Christi, about 150 miles (240 kilometers) away, because the cousin is an American citizen and could accompany her through an interior checkpoint in South Release continues on A10

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump touched off a partisan debate over some of the most divisive issues in American life on Wednesday as he cited this week’s terrorist attack in New York to advance his agenda on immigration and national security while assailing Democrats for endangering the country. A day after an immigrant from Uzbekistan was arrested on suspicion of plowing a pickup truck along a crowded bicycle path in Manhattan, killing eight people, Trump denounced Visas continues on A6

OUSTON — World Series MVP George Springer planted the Houston Astros’ championship trophy at the front of a fire truck to a cheering crowd as the team began their victory parade Friday, with orange and blue confetti raining down as they
passed tens of thousands of fans in downtown Houston. Four military jets soared above a sea of orange and blue T-shirts, jerseys, pennants and banners along the 20-block parade route, which was quickly extended to accommodate the larger-than-expected crowd. Fans stood more than 10 rows deep, with chants of “Let’s go Astros” echoing off skyscrapers, while some Astros continues on A10
