The United States has imposed sanctions on La Mayiza, a menacing faction of the Sinaloa Cartel. The cartel's La Mayiza faction, also known as 'Los Mayos', manages the production and trafficking of fentanyl, cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and methamphetamine from northwest Mexico into the United States.
Thursday, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control designated Los Mayos, along with the leader of the faction's armed wing, Juan José Ponce Félix. Also known as Jesus Alexandro Sanchez Felix and El Ruso, he is the leader of La Mayiza's primary armed wing, and one of the cartel's regional networks engaged in fentanyl production.
