The United States and Mexico imposed measures against 55 people and entities linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel on July 24, 2026. The move targets a reported California-born leader identified as the cartel's new top figure. This follows the killing of previous boss El Mencho five months ago. Reporters in Mexico and abroad call the action the largest financial crackdown on the group to date. Earlier, investigators exposed a clan structure behind its operations. The sanctions freeze assets and block financial dealings tied to the group and its backers.
