As you may well well understand, Joaqun Guzmán, also known as El Chapo, is one of the most well-known drug rulers in the world. The original Sinaloa Cartel president from Mexico is regarded as responsible for the murder of more than 34, 000 people and built an empire on drug trafficking. He is currently serving a life word while incarcerated in Colorado’s ADX Florence, a supermax jail.

However, his family, especially four of his brothers, “have unified command over and assumed command of the Sinaloa Cartel through their self-described Los Chapitos party.” The gang continues to pose a significant threat to our nation as one of the nation’s top drug distributors.  ,
Donald Trump and his administration are then trying to change that. Joaquin Guzman Lopez and Ovidio Guzman Lopez, both children, are now being taken into custody in the US. Iván Guzmán Salazar and Alfredo Guzmán Salazar were both arrested on Monday, and the Trump administration announced that it was launching an investigation into their detention.  ,
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent specifically stated that Los Chapitos and the two people may be subject to US sanctions. Additionally, the State Department is rewarding their detention. Los Chapitos is “at the vanguard of fentanyl smuggling into the United States,” according to Bessent, and Treasury is using every means at its disposal to halt the fentanyl problems and save lives.  ,
In a media release from the Treasury Department, it says: Â
The lab under the control of Los Chapitos are responsible for the introduction of fentanyl in fake medications made by the Sinaloa Cartel and sold to Americans. Gunmen connected to the Sinaloa Cartel were also responsible for the death of previous U.S. Marine Nicholas Quets on October 18, 2024 in Sonora, Mexico. Moreover, OFAC has named the children of imprisoned Sinaloa Cartel head Joaquin” El Chapo” Guzman Loera and two runaway leaders of Los Chapitos, Archivaldo Ivan Guzman Salazar and Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar.  ,

This knowledge was repeated in Tammy Bruce’s statement, according to State Department spokesperson.
Iván and Alfredo have been given targets by the Narcotics Rewards Program, and reward offers range from$ 10 million to$ 10 million for information leading to their arrests and/or convictions. Additionally, the United States has established a local community of Mexican-based Los Chapitos partners. This system carries out money laundering, bribery, theft, and drug trafficking. The Sinaloa Cartel was recently designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO ) and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist ( SDGT).
According to the Treasury Department, the unit’s ability to obtain precursor toxins while also controlling generation via its secret facilities in Sinaloa contributes largely to its supremacy over fentanyl prostitution.  ,
Cartel Violence Causes a Stranger’s” 21st-Century Noah’s Ark,” according to  .
In the Mexican state of Sinaloa, a violent turf war between Los Chapitos and another Sinaloa cartel party, La Mayiza,  , broke out last September, causing the murders of hundreds of people and many others to go missing. According to what I wrote last quarter, the violence escalated to the point where a well-known animal shelter in the area had to relocate 700 wild animals, some of whom were owned by El Chapo himself, to a new area hours apart because even the owners were dying and the personnel don’t run the place correctly.  ,

Along the Caborca-Altar Highway, he was assassinated across the U.S.-Mexico borders.
