Two key figures from the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico, including 'El Mayo,' are now in the custody of the United States.


American law enforcement officials have arrested two top leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, a major criminal organization in Mexico. Ismael Zambada García and Joaquín Guzmán López, powerful drug traffickers, were apprehended in El Paso, Texas. The arrests were a culmination of years of pursuit by the F.B.I., DEA, and Homeland Security Investigations. Attorney General Merrick Garland emphasized the threat of fentanyl and vowed to hold all responsible cartel members accountable. The capture of these leaders is expected to impact the cartel's operations and could lead to increased violence as factions vie for control. The Sinaloa Cartel, known for its decentralized structure, may continue its drug smuggling activities despite the arrests. Additionally, all four of El Chapo's sons are facing charges in the United States. The arrest of Zambada García, who had a close relationship with El Chapo, is likely to have political implications in Mexico. The article also highlights the betrayal suffered by Zambada García when his son testified against him in El Chapo's trial, providing detailed insights into the cartel's criminal activities.
