The Chapitos Never Stopped Producing Fentanyl, It Was A Public Relations Strategy, Says DEA

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat



"Los Chapitos”, “Los Menores” and/or “Los Chiquillos” - as Iván Archivaldo and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, alias “El Chapito” and “El Alfredillo”, are known, as well as Joaquín and Ovidio Guzmán López, “El Ratón ", aged 40, 37, 36 and 33, respectively, all sons of the Sinaloa kingpin Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, "El Chapo" - didn’t stop manufacturing fentanyl in Mexico and the alleged order to do so was a publicity hoax or a method to eliminate rivals, said the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

In the 2024 edition of its Drug Threat Assessment -published on May 9, 2024-, the DEA assured that the blankets that appeared in October 2023, in Sinaloa, Sonora and Baja California, in which “Los Chapitos ” supposedly prohibited the manufacture of fentanyl, was a public relations strategy, which had no effect on the availability or price of said synthetic drug.

“In October 2023, Los Chapitos orchestrated a publicity show by allegedly enforcing the so-called ban by hanging blankets in prominent locations in Sinaloa, Sonora and Baja California […] However, the ban was a public relations stunt or an attempt for cartels to consolidate production among a smaller number of trusted manufacturers and punish others,” said the DEA, in its 57-page annual report.

According to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, other groups belonging to the Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) also joined the alleged ban, including the Tijuana Cartel, La Plaza, Los Cazadores, Los Gorilas and Los Pelones.

According to the DEA, the total of fentanyl seizures made by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) agency itself, during the year 2023, reached record levels with some 79 million fentanyl pills and 6.8 tons of powder of said synthetic drug, which would demonstrate its wide availability, causing more than 100 thousand deaths in 2022.

On the other hand, the aforementioned DEA report stated that the CJNG and the Sinaloa Cartel had a presence in fifty US states, controlling clandestine drug production sites and the routes to transport them from Mexico to US territory, in addition that they maintain large network centers in cities in that country, along the border.

The DEA pointed out that the criminal structures of the CJNG and the Sinaloa Cartel have diversified their criminal activity and were not only dedicated to drug trafficking, they also commit arms trafficking, money laundering, migrant trafficking, sex trafficking, bribery, extortion, among other crimes.

“They have a global reach that extends to strategic transportation areas and profitable drug markets in Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania,” detailed the DEA, which also indicated that the CJNG and the Sinaloa Cartel commanded organized criminal networks around the world. Which played a role in the production and distribution of fentanyl, methamphetamine and other illicit drugs by the ton.

“They operate extensive global supply chains, from precursor chemicals to production facilities, and direct a complex network of conspirators that includes international shippers, cross-border shippers, corrupt officials, tunnel builders, corporations, money launderers and others,” the DEA emphasized in its report.

The United States Drug Enforcement Administration stated that for these two organizations to have a presence throughout the United States, it was due to the scope of control of these criminal structures “over each segment of the criminal drug trade,” eliminating any competition in US markets.

“They dictate the flow of nearly all illicit drugs into the United States and their dominance over the synthetic drug trade in particular is evident in the relentless flow of fentanyl and methamphetamine crossing the border into U.S. markets,” the DEA noted.

The United States Drug Enforcement Administration explained that the US states where there was a greater presence of the Sinaloa Cartel and the CJNG were Arizona, California, North Carolina, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, New York, New Mexico, Texas.

    1. You honestly don't feel much guilt when it comes to pushing buttons. So, yeah why not. I will say though that it's a rude awakening for people on the ground. That dumbfounded look on their faces when they're left wondering what the fuck just happened is something you never really forget.

  3. There is just way too much money to be made with fentanyl. No cartel will stop producing and selling this poison. I love the idea of drone strikes. We can paste pictures of dead victims due to fentanyl on the drone before sending it. That would be great payback. Nuff Said!!!

  6. So where is CDG on the map? It’s hard for me to imagine where they can “dominate/control” a border so large and important yet doesnt translate to the US marketplace. Then again this is only a fent map right? If so does this mean, CDG doesn’t really deal with trafficking such narcotic?

  9. Of course it was a publicity stunt.

    They only wanted THEMSELVES to produce and profit. They knew they were so many independents making money and they didn’t like this. This is why they started cracking down on everyone. Anybody that gets arrested is still gonna be associated with the Sinaloa cartel. But that don’t mean they necessarily work for them.

  16. In a separate note, el Mini Mini, tiktoker puntero from Culiacan was missing since end of April was presumed dead. Just saw the video on IG where he is supposedly interrogated and beaten up. According to the user, he was freed and is alive. Does anyone know if this incident is related to the murders of other Punteros in Culiacan posted by BB a couple of weeks ago? And if so, are the Chaput0s behind this?

  17. What did you expect? That they were going to throw away all the product that was already made. DEA sometimes like to create narratives so they can look like they’re doing their job.

  19. They did actually put a ban on it because there was mostly independents making it and flooding the market. They did kill people that were producing it and caused others to move their kitchens elsewhere. It did affect the price, quality and supply. Obviously there were probably certain people that were allowed to continue but the DEA isn’t exactly accurate with this one unless they mean the actual cartel members never stopped but the independents did as people think any drug trafficker from Sinaloa is apart of the cartel. The fentanyl game right now is nothing like it was before the ban but there’s a chance it’s not because of the ban but because it’s become hard for them to secure the precursors. There’s a good chance the brothers knew there was about to be a drought on the precursors and tried to act like they were banning it when the cooks couldn’t get it anyway. More then likely they just wanted the limited amount of precursors for themselves and that’s why there was a ban to begin with. Who knows but the DEA is outta pocket saying nothing changed.
