"Argentina Expels Family of Fugitive Drug Lord 'Fito' after Seizure"

Argentina detained and deported the wife and children of Ecuadorean fugitive drug trafficker Jose Adolfo Macias, also known as 'Fito', along with other associates who had moved into a home in Cordoba. Fito had escaped from an Ecuadorian prison, prompting a major search operation in Ecuador and beyond. Ecuadorean President declared a state of emergency and deployed military to control gang violence. The family's temporary residence permit was canceled, allowing authorities to expel them from Argentina. Ecuadorean authorities are searching for Fito and have asked for assistance from Colombia.
