American President, Joe Bidencelebrated this Friday the arrest of Ismael El Mayo Zambada and Joaquin Guzman Lopez, one of Chapo Guzman’s sons, in Texas for dealing a blow to the leadership of the Sinaloa cartel, which he called “one of the deadliest companies in the world.”

The two drug trafficking leaders were arrested Thursday in a sting operation at a small airfield near El Paso, Texas. They face charges of manufacturing drugs and running drug trafficking networks.

“Too many of our citizens’ lives have been lost to fentanyl. Too many families have been torn apart and hurt by this devastating drug. My administration will continue to do everything we can to hold drug dealers accountable and save American lives,” Biden said.

I want to commend the work of our law enforcement officers who made this arrest for their ongoing work to ensure that the Sinaloa Cartel is brought to justice.

The United States arrested Ismael El Mayo Zambada in Texas on Thursday, the leader and co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel who had been wanted by U.S. authorities for decades and had a $15 million reward, according to the Justice Department.

Joaquin Guzman Lopez was arrested along with Zambada. one of the sons of Joaquin El Chapo Guzman.
