A top Sinaloa Cartel leader in the Mexican state of Chihuahua has been arrested, the local attorney general's office said. Concretely, the Chihuahua Attorney General's office said that Humberto Rivera, who had several aliases, including "El Chato," was arrested on Thursday in Juarez, near the U.S. border. He was a top priority for the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), according to Border Report, and had several fake IDs with him.
The arrest comes as U.S. President Donald Trump's administration gears up to designate several Mexican criminal groups as foreign terrorist organizations. More concretely, the Sinaloa cartel, Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación, Cartel del Noroeste, La Familia Michoacana and the Carteles Unidos are expected to be targeted, according to The New York Times.
