International and interagency partnership in action. Echoing @USAmbMex, the apprehension of "El Señor de la A" in Chihuahua underscores sustained U.S.–Mexico intel sharing. Targeting cartel leaders & smuggling networks, transnational criminal orgs find no refuge across borders.
Criminals who threaten our communities will face justice, no matter where they run. “El Señor de la A,” a regional leader of La Línea, linked to the narco-terrorist group the New Juárez Cartel, was arrested in Chihuahua by Mexican authorities following military intelligence efforts and information sharing with U.S. agencies. He is wanted for extradition to the United States on drug trafficking and human smuggling charges.

Outstanding success by @SEMAR_mx & @SSPCMexico in Sinaloa. Neutralizing key cartel operators shows the power of combined efforts. Dismantling networks takes a united front; through continuous interagency coordination, we remain committed to securing our region.
Personal naval de la @SEMAR_mx en coordinación con @SSPCMexico, repelió una agresión armada en inmediaciones de Alfredo V. Bonfil, #Sinaloa. Esta acción derivó de trabajos de inteligencia naval y como resultado se aseguraron 4 vehículos con reporte de robo, 3 armas largas, cargadores y municiones. Durante el enfrentamiento fallecieron 2 personas, cuya identidad podría corresponder a Jesús "N" (a) Chuy Peñuelas operador de 2do orden, solo por debajo de Fausto Isidro Meza Flores (a) Chapo Isidro, líder del Cartel de Guasave y Cesáreo "N", quedando pendiente la confirmación pericial. Los indicios quedaron a disposición de la @FGRMexico para las investigaciones correspondientes. #Marina refrenda su compromiso de contribuir a la seguridad de la población, mediante la coordinación interinstitucional, con apego al marco legal y respeto a los derechos humanos.

The capture of cartel operator "El Ingeniero" in Mexico showcases the decisive impact of coordinated intelligence between the U.S., Mexico, and Colombia. JIATF-CC remains committed to supporting DEA & partner-nation counterparts in taking key criminal coordinators off the board.
En Zapopan, Jalisco, derivado de trabajos de inteligencia, elementos de @Defensamx1 y @GN_MEXICO_, en coordinación con la Agencia de Investigación Criminal de @FGRMexico, detuvieron a Luis Manuel “N”, alias “Ingeniero”, identificado como operador de un grupo delictivo y señalado como responsable del diseño y construcción de túneles transfronterizos utilizados para el tráfico de drogas hacia Estados Unidos, principalmente desde Tijuana, Baja California. El detenido cuenta con cargos en San Diego, California, por conspiración para el tráfico de drogas. Durante la operación se aseguraron armas, droga y un vehículo. Las instituciones del Gabinete de Seguridad mantienen acciones coordinadas para detener a operadores criminales, desarticular sus estructuras y debilitar sus capacidades logísticas y operativas.

Through intelligence development and information sharing, @USNorthernCmd’s JIATF-CC assisted @USTreasury and mission partners in this major operation that sanctioned 21 individuals & 25 entities linked to the Sinaloa Cartel. No facilitator is out of reach. teapawt.org/USTreasury/status/2105…
Today, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned nearly 50 targets who serve as leaders or facilitators for the Sinaloa Cartel. The 21 individuals and 25 entities designated include cartel leader Ismael Zambada Sicairos, members of his innermost circle, and the Tijuana-based cell leaders, money launderers, and corrupt politicians who permit the Sinaloa Cartel to operate with impunity just miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. home.treasury.gov/news/press…

Dismantling complex cartel networks requires relentless, unified action across theater boundaries. From @USNORTHCOM to @SOUTHCOM, @JIATFCC Director Brig. Gen. Maurizio Calabrese and @JIATFS Director Rear Adm. Jeffrey Randall are integrating Department of War, intelligence, and interagency capabilities to secure the homeland. Fusing defense intelligence with global law enforcement partnerships is how we dismantle illicit supply chains before they reach our borders. Unity of effort is our greatest force multiplier. #IDEC2026 #CounterCartel #InteragencyPartnership #HomelandDefense
