US Announces More Than $100m in Rewards for Eight Jalisco Cartel Leaders The US government has announced rewards totaling over $100 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction of eight leaders of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
The move is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to combat organized crime, but experts say it may be a desperate measure that prioritizes short term gains over long term solutions.
The CJNG's operations span 21 of Mexico's 32 states and involve various illicit activities, including drug smuggling.
