Mexican Navy forces and the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection detained Mónica Zambada Niebla, the daughter of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, co-founder of the Sinaloa cartel and longtime partner of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.
Authorities were able to locate her through a series of operations carried out across different parts of the state. During one of them, federal forces were attacked after identifying a property linked to the La Mayiza faction, one of the Sinaloa cartel groups that has been fighting for control in the region since September 2024.
