The Biden administration's Department of Justice has conducted a significant sweep against Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, leading to the surrender of top cartel leaders to U.S. authorities. This operation is part of a broader effort to dismantle the cartel's leadership and address the fentanyl crisis in the United States. The U.S. has declared war on the Sinaloa Cartel, marking the biggest cartel arrest since El Chapo. The cartel, known as the largest and most powerful in Mexico, is reportedly enraged and may retaliate, prompting the U.S. border to be on high alert.
