On 22 November, Mexican security forces captured Néstor Isidro Pérez Salas ("El Nini"), the notorious head of security for the Chapitos wing of the Sinaloa Cartel. For nearly three years, El Nini has been one of Mexico's and the United States' most wanted criminals, indicted by the United States for his role in committing violence and trafficking fentanyl into the United States, and both of our countries are safer with him around. and face justice for his crimes. His arrest also follows the Mexican arrest and extradition to the United States earlier this year of another Chapitos leader, Ovidio Guzmán López.
These arrests are a testament to the commitment between the United States and Mexico to secure our communities from violence, confront the cartels, and end the scourge of illegal fentanyl that hurts so many families. We will continue to work as strong partners to do everything we can to hold criminals accountable for the threats to public health and safety in our two countries. As I told President Andrés Manuel López Obrador when we met in San Francisco on November 17, nothing is beyond our reach when Mexico and the United States stand together
I want to thank President López Obrador and the Mexican army and special forces for the effective capture of El Nini and to express our appreciation to the brave men and women of the Mexican security forces who undertook this successful operation to capture him.
