The United States has imposed sanctions on senior members of the armed wing of a Mexican drug cartel involved in fentanyl trafficking. The sanctioned individuals include 'La Wera de Palenque' and four other members of 'La Línea,' a group that collaborates with the Juárez Cartel in drug trafficking activities. This action targets the cartel's operations in border territories, particularly in and around Chihuahua, Mexico. The sanctions were announced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In related news, the FGR delegate in Sonora acknowledged in September that the state is part of the fentanyl production chain.
