The United States government has intensified its efforts against Mexican drug cartels by offering a $10 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Iván Archivaldo Guzmán, son of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, who is listed among the most wanted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Iván Archivaldo Guzmán is identified by the U.S. Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) as a leader of a violent organization linked to the production of counterfeit fentanyl pills. Alongside him, other cartel leaders including Juan José Farías Álvarez, known as “El Abuelo,” and members of the Guzmán family such as Ovidio and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, are accused of leading the Sinaloa Cartel, which the U.S. government under former President Donald Trump designated as a global terrorist organization. In related developments, Mexican authorities arrested Ezequiel Cárdenas Rivera, alias “Tormenta Junior,” son of the late Gulf Cartel leader Antonio “Tony Tormenta” Cárdenas Guillén, in Matamoros. Additionally, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel, is set to plead guilty to drug trafficking charges in a federal court in the Eastern District of Brooklyn, New York.
