Overview

• ICE announced a public campaign on X and its website offering $10 million for tips that lead to the arrest or conviction of Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, who is described as armed and dangerous.
• Authorities urged anyone with information to contact the nearest U.S. embassy or call the dedicated tip line at 1-520-335-7315.
• U.S. officials say Guzmán Salazar faces federal cases that include fentanyl trafficking in the Southern District of New York and drug importation charges in the Northern District of Illinois.
• In June 2025, the Treasury’s OFAC increased rewards to $10 million and sanctioned Los Chapitos, citing an alarming wave of violence that included the 2024 killing of former U.S. Marine Nicholas Quets.
• ICE and the DEA portray Los Chapitos as using extreme violence, pointing to the 2019 Culiacanazo, and note that Guzmán Salazar has been on most-wanted lists since 2018 for major drug conspiracies.
