“Two down and two gone” screams a new wanted poster targeting the two remaining fugitive sons of notorious Mexican kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman-Loera, who is serving more than 30 years in a Colorado supermax prison.
On Monday, ICE sent a new wanted poster for two members of “Los Chapitos” – Ivan Archivaldo Guzman Salazar and Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar, the two sons of El Chapo and his first wife, Alejandrina Maria Salazar-Hernandez.
After capturing El Chapo for the last time in 2016, control of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel shifted to Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada. After Zambada’s arrest during the Biden administration, leadership passed to Guzman’s four sons.

“Two down and two will walk away with a $10 million prize,” read the wanted poster, with X’s on the faces of Joaquin Guzman Lopez and Ovidio Guzman Lopez already photographed.
The two kidnapped Chapitos are reportedly cooperating with authorities and have not been sentenced, but Ivan and Jesus remain “armed and dangerous,” according to ICE.

The two fugitives were charged with conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and operating a continuing criminal enterprise.
Two of Guzman’s four sons have already been taken into custody as part of Operation Take Back America, a program that calls for the “total elimination of organized crime and transnational organized crime” to protect US communities from violent crime.
US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois Andrew Boutros said in a recent statement that the efforts to arrest El Chapo’s sons are the latest steps “in our efforts to bring to justice the drug lords and other dangerous criminals who poison the American public with illegal and dangerous drugs and engage in violence and corruption to carry out their criminal activities that reach all of their businesses.”

In his plea agreement, Guzman Lopez admitted that he and his accomplices committed violence against law enforcement, rival drug traffickers and members of their organization to protect the Sinaloa Cartel’s trafficking operations.
