US imposes sanctions on El Chapo's fugitive sons, offers $10 million reward for their capture
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States on Monday imposed sanctions on the two fugitive sons of incarcerated Mexican Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman and announced a reward offer of up to $10 million each for information leading to the arrest or conviction of the men. The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on Archivaldo Ivan Guzman Salazar and Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar who are believed to be currently located in Mexico. Guzman's other sons — Joaquin Guzman Lopez and Ovidio Guzman Lopez — are currently incarcerated in the United States. In May, federal prosecutors announced they would not seek the death penalty for Joaquin Guzman Lopez if he's convicted of multiple charges in Chicago. Sanctions were also imposed on a faction of the Sinaloa cartel known as the 'Chapitos,' or little Chapos, which has been identified as a main exporter of fentanyl to the U.S. as well as a regional network of Chapitos associates and businesses based in Mazatlan, Mexico, that allegedly engage in drug trafficking, extortion and money laundering. According to federal prosecutors, El Chapo smuggled mountains of cocaine and other drugs into the United States over 25 years. He was convicted in 2019 on multiple conspiracy counts and sentenced to life in a U.S. prison. 'At the Department of the Treasury, we are executing on President Trump's mandate to completely eliminate drug cartels and take on violent leaders like 'El Chapo's' children,' Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. The Sinaloa Cartel, through various incarnations, is Mexico's oldest criminal group, dating to the 1970s. One of their most lucrative businesses in recent years has been the production of the synthetic opioid fentanyl, blamed for tens of thousands of overdose deaths each year in the U.S. The Trump administration in February labeled the Sinaloa cartel a foreign terrorist organizations .

Gavin Newsom dares Trump's border tsar: arrest me
Credit: MSNBC Gavin Newsom, the California governor, has dared Donald Trump's border tsar to arrest him as the violent unrest engulfing Los Angeles looked set to continue into a fourth day. The Democrat governor goaded Tom Homan to make good on his threat to arrest him, as he blamed Mr Trump's administration for inflaming the protests sparked by immigration raids in the city. Masked protesters in Los Angeles smashed and torched self-driving electric cars during a third day of volatile demonstrations on Sunday. 'Come and arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn,' Mr Newsom told MSNBC after Mr Homan had threatened both Mr Newsom and Karen Bass, the LA mayor. 'He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me,' Mr Newsom added. Mr Newsom said he planned to sue the Trump administration over the deployment of 2,000 national guard troops which he called 'an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act'. Demonstrators protesting against federal immigration raids continued to clash with police who fired rubber bullets and tear gas while being hurled with bricks and stones. Several journalists were injured during the crackdown, including an Australian presenter who was shot in the leg while reporting from downtown. Ms Bass appeared at odds with the LAPD chief, who said the force was under-resourced and overwhelmed. 'He has received that support from the sheriff's department and from other police departments, and so I do not believe that he was describing a situation where we cannot get it under control here,' she told CNN. Mr Newsom's confrontation with the president is the latest in a string of disagreements he has shared with Mr Trump, who has nicknamed the governor 'Newscum'. The pair clashed earlier this year when Mr Trump blamed Mr Newsom for the California wildfires that destroyed thousands of homes and called for his resignation. Juan Ramón de la Fuente, the Mexican foreign affairs minister, said 42 Mexicans had been detained in the riots, four of which were already returned to Mexico. 'We do not agree with violent actions as a form of protest,' Claudia Sheinbaum, the Mexican president, said. 'Burning police cars appears to be more an act of provocation than of resistance. We condemn violence, no matter where it comes from. We call on the Mexican community to act pacifically and not allow itself to be provoked.' At least 56 people were arrested over the weekend including a person accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at an officer. Police declared all of downtown LA to be an unlawful assembly area on Sunday as officers geared up for another day of protests. The Service Employees International Union, which has around two million members, has organised a rally for Monday afternoon after the arraignment of its Californian president, David Huerta, who was arrested on Friday while protesting.
