U.S. Treasury sanctions five Gulf Cartel members for illegal fishing, smuggling, and drug trafficking.

The U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned five Mexican individuals tied to the Gulf Cartel for their roles in illegal fishing, human smuggling, and drug trafficking in the Gulf of Mexico. This action targets the cartel's use of fishing boats for red snapper poaching and smuggling activities, which also harms ocean ecosystems and local fishing communities. The sanctions are part of a broader U.S. effort to combat illegal fishing and enhance maritime security through international collaboration.
