US Treasury sanctions three Mexican nationals and two entities tied to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

The US Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on three Mexican nationals and two entities linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, a powerful drug cartel blamed for fuel theft and fentanyl trafficking. The sanctions freeze assets in the US and prohibit business with US citizens, aiming to disrupt the cartel's operations and funding. The cartel, with around 19,000 members, has been linked to tens of millions in stolen revenue and illicit fentanyl flows into the US.
