  • Summary

  • The arrest of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a prominent leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, has highlighted significant issues within Mexican law enforcement and its coordination with U.S. agencies. Zambada was apprehended in El Paso, Texas, on July 25, 2024. This operation, reportedly carried out by the FBI, caught the Mexican government by surprise, as they were unaware of the operation until after the fact​.


    The arrest has major implications for both U.S. and Mexican anti-drug operations. Zambada has been a key figure in the Sinaloa Cartel, and his capture marks a significant blow to the cartel's operations. However, the lack of communication between U.S. and Mexican authorities raises concerns about the effectiveness of bilateral cooperation in combating drug trafficking and organized crime.


    The arrest of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada is expected to escalate violence both within the Sinaloa Cartel and from external sources such as the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). Internally, the Sinaloa Cartel faces potential leadership disputes among factions, particularly between "Los Chapitos" (the sons of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán) and loyalists to El Mayo. This power vacuum could lead to violent infighting as different groups vie for control of the cartel's extensive operations.






    Externally, the CJNG, led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes ("El Mencho"), sees this as an opportunity to expand its influence and challenge the Sinaloa Cartel's dominance. The CJNG has already been in a violent turf war with the Sinaloa Cartel, particularly in regions like Zacatecas, Jalisco, and Puerto Vallarta. El Mayo's arrest could intensify these conflicts as CJNG attempts to exploit any perceived weaknesses within the Sinaloa Cartel to gain territorial control​.
