The Trump administration’s war on Mexican drug cartels is in full swing. 

“Two down and two to go” blared the new wanted poster targeting the two remaining fugitive sons of infamous Mexican cartel kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman-Loera, who is serving life-plus-30-years in Colorado’s federal supermax prison, according to a story by Fox News.

The poster shows ICE’s renewed vigor when it comes to going after Mexican drug lords, as ICE posted a new wanted poster for two members of “Los Chapitos” — Ivan Archivaldo Guzman Salazar and Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar, two of El Chapo’s sons with his first wife, Alejandrina Maria Salazar-Hernandez.

Both the Trump administration in the U.S. and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration in Mexico have said they are focused on cracking down on the cartel’s new leadership. President Donald Trump has even hinted at sending U.S. forces to Mexico to help the government there quash the cartels.

After El Chapo’s last capture in 2016, control of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel shifted to Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada. But after Zambada was arrested during the Biden administration, leadership passed to Guzman’s four sons.

“Two down and two to go with $10 million reward,” the wanted poster read, with Xs over the faces of the already captured Joaquin Guzman Lopez and Ovidio Guzman Lopez.

The two captured Chapitos are allegedly cooperating with authorities and have not yet been sentenced, but Ivan and Jesus remain “armed and dangerous,” according to ICE.

Andrew Boutros, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois said in a recent statement that the work to capture El Chapo’s sons are the latest steps “in our efforts to bring to justice drug lords and other dangerous criminals who poison the American public with illegal and harmful drugs and who otherwise engage in violence and corruption to carry out their and their enterprises’ wide-reaching criminal activities.”
