FBI’s Major Win: Top Sinaloa Cartel Leaders Taken Down in Texas Operation (Video)

Major Cartel Leaders Arrested

Federal authorities have captured two significant figures in the Sinaloa drug cartel, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Guzman Lopez, the son of the infamous El Chapo. The arrests are considered a major victory in the fight against fentanyl distribution.

Capture Details

The arrests occurred after the suspects boarded a private plane in Mexico, believing they were going to inspect property near the US border. The plane instead landed in El Paso, Texas, where FBI agents were waiting to apprehend them.

Background on the Sinaloa Cartel

The Sinaloa cartel is one of the largest and most violent drug trafficking organizations in Mexico. They are responsible for distributing fentanyl, cocaine, and other drugs throughout the US and Europe. Zambada, aged 76, had evaded capture for decades before this operation.

Government Response

Attorney General Merrick Garland emphasized the Justice Department’s commitment to holding all cartel leaders, members, and associates accountable for their roles in the fentanyl epidemic. The US government had previously offered a $15 million reward for information leading to Zambada’s capture.

Zambada has pleaded not guilty to all federal charges. President Biden commended law enforcement for their efforts in the operation. The arrests mark a significant step in combating the drug crisis affecting communities across the country.
