💨 Abstract

The article outlines findings from a 2025 DEA report on Mexican drug cartels, primarily focusing on Sinaloa and CJNG. These cartels lead in the production and trafficking of synthetic drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine into the U.S., using precursors from China and clandestine labs in Mexico. They operate complex smuggling networks and sophisticated money laundering schemes involving Chinese networks and cryptocurrency exchanges.
