15:30Now PlayingThe Mexican drug kingpin Ismael Zambada Garcia, also known as "El Mayo," who co-founded the notorious Sinaloa drug cartel was taken into custody in El Paso, according to the Department of Justice. Also taken into custody was Juaquin Guzman Lopez, the son of the cartel's other co-founder, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
A federal law enforcement source told Fox News Joaquin Guzman Lopez surrendered to U.S. authorities, but El Mayo was captured. Guzman Lopez cut a deal with U.S. authorities, and turned on El Mayo, the source explained.
Guzman Lopez got on a private airplane with El Mayo and instead of heading south to Mexico like El Mayo thought, the plane went north to El Paso where the two were taken into custody.
"Today, the FBI and DEA arrested two alleged cartel leaders who have eluded law enforcement for decades," FBI Director Christopher Wray said, adding that El Mayo and Guzman Lopez will now face justice.
In February, U.S. federal prosecutors charged Zambada Garcia with conspiracy to manufacture and distribute fentanyl, which U.S. officials say is the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45.
Zambada Garcia and now-jailed drug lord "El Chapo" founded the Sinaloa Cartel.
Mary Beth Sheridan, The Washington Post's bureau chief in Mexico City, joined LiveNOW's Carel Lajara to provide more details on "El Mayo" and the Sinaloa Cartel.
