US authorities arrest top Sinaloa cartel leaders in Texas

Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada Garcia, a 76-year-old Mexican drug lord, and Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Lopez, 35, have been arrested in El Paso, Texas, and are facing multiple charges, including conspiracy to make and distribute fentanyl. The two men co-founded the Sinaloa cartel, one of the biggest and most powerful criminal organizations in Mexico, responsible for a wave of violence. They are accused of involvement in fentanyl trafficking, which US Attorney General Merrick Garland has described as the "deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced." The arrests are part of a crackdown on Sinaloa cartel leaders, with US officials taking into custody two other alleged leaders of the cartel. Zambada Garcia has been wanted by US authorities for decades and is known for his role in orchestrating the cartel's smuggling operations while maintaining a relatively low profile.
