Mexican authorities arrested a man known as the top enforcer for the Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel. The arrest comes as Mexico continues to face mounting political pressure over the fentanyl crisis in the United States.

On Wednesday afternoon, a special forces group from Mexico’s Army raided a home in the La Rivera neighborhood in Culiacan, Sinaloa — a stronghold of the Sinaloa Cartel. After a short skirmish and chase, they arrested Nestor Isidro “El Nini” Perez Salas. Officials described the man as the security chief for Los Chapitos. He is currently wanted by the U.S. Department of Justice with a $3,000,000 reward on his head. . . .
