The poster described the two men as "armed and dangerous" and carried the headline "Two down and two to go." The two men are sons of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman-Loera and his first wife, Alejandrina Maria Salazar-Hernandez. They are charged with conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and operating a continuing criminal enterprise.
Background on the Sinaloa Cartel Joaquin Guzman was captured in Mexico in 2016 and is serving his sentence at a federal supermax prison in Colorado. After his arrest, leadership of the Sinaloa Cartel passed to Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada. Zambada was arrested during the previous administration, after which control shifted to Guzman's four sons.
Two of the sons, Joaquin Guzman Lopez and Ovidio Guzman Lopez, have already been captured through Operation Take Back America. The operation seeks the elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations. The two captured sons are reportedly cooperating with authorities and have not yet been sentenced.
Ivan and Jesus remain at large. U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois Andrew Boutros said in a statement that efforts to capture the remaining sons are part of efforts to bring to justice drug lords and other criminals who distribute illegal drugs and engage in violence and corruption.
