U.S. Citizen Leads Mexico’s Deadliest Cartel | US News
Description
A U.S. citizen born in California, Juan Carlos Valencia, now leads Mexico’s most powerful cartel, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, after his stepfather El Mencho’s arrest. Facing federal charges and a $5 million bounty, Valencia’s American citizenship creates a legal maze: U.S. agencies can’t surveil him without probable cause and judicial approval, slowing down operations. Law enforcement is now debating how to pursue him without violating constitutional rights — even as they consider whether Mexico’s sovereignty might be the only legal path forward.
