Sinaloa Cartel Leader 'El Mayo' and 'El Chapo' Son Face US Courts

Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López, key figures in the Sinaloa Cartel, have been arrested and charged with multiple federal crimes.

Zambada and Guzmán López were apprehended in a complex operation involving alleged deceit and kidnapping.
The arrests mark a significant achievement for US law enforcement but may not impact the overall drug trade.
Zambada appeared in court in a wheelchair, citing health issues from the alleged kidnapping.
Multiple US jurisdictions are vying to prosecute Zambada, reflecting the widespread impact of his criminal activities.
The Sinaloa Cartel's involvement in fentanyl trafficking remains a critical concern for US authorities.
