This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed Cartel Leader is arrested or detained by law enforcement by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Temporary holding at a detention facility while awaiting a judge’s decision on whether to grant a detention warrant qualifies, so long as they are held by law enforcement in an official capacity during that time. A qualifying arrest/detention includes: * Being taken into physical custody by law enforcement authorities (including federal, state, local, military, or international law enforcement) * Voluntarily surrendering to law enforcement authorities in response to an arrest warrant * Being formally booked or processed following detention * Being handcuffed by a state authority and taken to a police station * Surrendering at a police station or courthouse with their attorney * Being placed under house arrest or electronic monitoring The following scenarios will NOT qualify as an arrest/detention * An arrest warrant being issued but not executed * Being questioned or interviewed without arrest * Being named in an indictment without arrest The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the arresting government and law enforcement; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Mexican authorities have intensified operations against major cartels in 2026, highlighted by the February killing of CJNG leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes and the subsequent April capture of a top lieutenant known as El Jardinero. These actions, alongside expanded extraditions of Sinaloa and CJNG figures to U.S. custody under the Sheinbaum administration, reflect sustained bilateral law enforcement coordination and U.S. reward offers targeting remaining operatives such as the Arzate-García brothers. Leadership vacuums in groups like CJNG, combined with ongoing probes into regional cells and political corruption networks, continue to shape prospects for additional high-profile detentions before year-end.
