WASHINGTON, June 9 -- The U.S. sanctioned the "Los Chapitos" faction of the Sinaloa Cartel and its Mazatlan network, targeting fentanyl trafficking, announced State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce.
The two fugitive leaders, sons of "El Chapo," face $10 million rewards. This action follows the Sinaloa Cartel's recent designation as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, underscoring the Trump Administration's commitment to disrupting cartel operations.
