U.S. Sanctions Sinaloa Cartel Faction, Mexican Lawmaker

The U.S. government is cracking down on the El Mayo faction of the Sinaloa Cartel, a dangerous drug group.

They've put sanctions on the group, meaning they can't do business with the U.S. They also sanctioned a Mexican lawmaker, Hilda Araceli Brown Figueredo, and others who are believed to be helping the cartel.

The U.S. accuses the cartel of making and selling deadly drugs like fentanyl, and also other drugs.

The U.S. is trying to stop the flow of drugs and corruption that allows them to operate.

The lawmaker, Brown, has stated she will continue her work.
