U.S. leaders and lawmakers are reacting with joy after the arrest of two Sinaloa cartel leaders this week, putting a dent in the ambitions of a top drug cartel.
Also taken into custody was Joaquín Guzmán López, the son of the cartel's other co-founder, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

"The Justice Department has taken into custody two additional alleged leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the most violent and powerful drug trafficking organizations in the world," U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said. "Ismael Zambada Garcia, or ‘El Mayo,’ cofounder of the Cartel, and Joaquín Guzmán López, a son of its other cofounder, were arrested today in El Paso, Texas."
