The role of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in the arrest of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, one of the most powerful and elusive leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, was pivotal. The arrest, which took place on July 25, 2024, was the culmination of a long-term joint operation involving HSI and the FBI. This operation was part of a broader U.S. strategy to combat the trafficking of fentanyl and other deadly drugs into the United States.

HSI played a significant role in the investigation that led to the indictment of Zambada and other cartel members as early as December 2022. The operation that resulted in Zambada's arrest was meticulously coordinated, involving advanced surveillance and intelligence-sharing between multiple U.S. law enforcement agencies.

However, the circumstances surrounding Zambada's capture are shrouded in controversy. Reports indicate that Zambada was brought to the U.S. against his will, possibly lured under false pretenses by fellow cartel members and then forcibly taken into custody by U.S. authorities. Zambada himself has claimed that he was ambushed and kidnapped, which has sparked diplomatic tensions between the U.S. and Mexico, with Mexican authorities demanding more transparency about the operation.

Despite the controversy, U.S. officials have hailed the arrest as a significant blow to the Sinaloa Cartel, potentially disrupting its operations and sending a strong message about the U.S.'s commitment to combating transnational drug trafficking​.
