Mexican authorities captured a nephew of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán in a security operation near the U.S. border, delivering another high-profile blow to the Sinaloa Cartel and its powerful Los Chapitos faction.
Mexico's Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch confirmed that federal forces arrested Isai "El Chinacate" Martínez, who is wanted by U.S. authorities and faces extradition proceedings. The arrest took place in Nogales, Sonora, a key border city across from Arizona that has long been used for trafficking routes into the United States.
