Mexican authorities, in coordination with U.S. agencies, have intensified operations against Sinaloa Cartel factions and CJNG networks in 2026, producing arrests of regional operators and financial facilitators such as “El Kamoni” of the Tepalcatepec Cartel and multiple Los Chapitos-linked figures in Mazatlán. U.S. Treasury sanctions on Mayito Flaco and associated networks, combined with multi-million-dollar reward offers for remaining CJNG and Sinaloa leaders, reflect sustained pressure through indictments and extradition requests. Internal factional violence between Los Mayos and Los Chapitos has generated additional intelligence leads, while bilateral information sharing supports targeted raids in key plazas. These enforcement patterns, alongside pending extraditions and scheduled court proceedings, shape trader assessments of which high-value targets face elevated risk of capture before year-end.
