J3 was the leader of “Los Demonios,” a violent faction of the Sinaloa Cartel responsible for hundreds of homicides and smuggling drugs across the U.S. Mexico border.

He is the third member of the leadership ranks of Los Demonios arrested in the last month thanks to the Government of Mexico and ICE HSI collaboration.

The arrest represents another significant win in joint U.S. – Mexico efforts to dismantle violent cartels, keep the border secure, and protect our communities.
