Two of the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, including the son of infamous crime boss Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzman, were surrendered to U.S. law enforcement agents, the Justice Department confirmed on Thursday evening.
Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada Garcia and Joaquin Guzman Lopez were arrested earlier the same day in El Paso, Texas, Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a brief statement.
“Both men are facing multiple charges in the United States for leading the Cartel’s criminal operations, including its deadly fentanyl manufacturing and trafficking networks,” Garland said.
