Washington, D.C. — Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada García, the alleged co-founder and leader of the infamous Sinaloa Cartel, has been reportedly arrested in El Paso, Texas. The news was first reported by the Associated Press (AP) on July 25, 2024.

Zambada García, also known as "El Mayo," has been a prominent figure in the Mexican drug trade for decades. Alongside his partner, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, he led the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the world's most powerful criminal organizations.

The arrest, if confirmed, would be a major blow to the Sinaloa Cartel. Zambada García has been considered one of the most influential drug lords in Mexico, known for his cunning and ability to evade law enforcement. His capture would mark a significant victory for law enforcement agencies fighting the war on drugs.

The AP report stated that Zambada García was detained by U.S. authorities in El Paso, near the U.S.-Mexico border. However, authorities have not yet officially confirmed the arrest or released any further details.
