Sinaloa Cartel Leaders Charged Under New U.S. Terror Designation

The U.S. is filing terror charges against cartel leaders in Mexico for the first time.  U.S. Attorney Adam Gordon from California’s Southern District says the leaders of the Beltran-Leyva faction of the Sinaloa Cartel are the first to face terror charges under the new U.S. designation.  The cartel leaders accused of murder, kidnapping and torture, and the group was the target of a record fentanyl bust in Mexico late last year where nearly two tons of drugs were seized.
