The Sinaloa Cartel is currently facing significant pressure from law enforcement, resulting in fears and changes in operations among its leaders and producers. Reports suggest that many are going into hiding or shutting down their drug labs amid numerous arrests and drug seizures. The heightened crackdown is a response to U.S. demands for Mexico to control its fentanyl supply, with threats of tariffs if compliance is not achieved. Consequently, the power dynamic within the cartel appears to be shifting, with potential impacts on drug production and safety for its operatives.
A high-ranking Sinaloa Cartel member expressed the anxiety of living under constant threat from authorities, stating, 'You can't be calm, you can't even sleep, because you don't know when they'll catch you.'
The cartel's internal dynamic is shifting as leaders scale back fentanyl production due to intensified government crackdowns and pressures from the U.S. to halt the supply.
