'Come see it for yourself': Fox gets an exclusive inside look at cartel operations
Lt. Christopher Olivarez, Texas deputy of public safety, gives ‘America’s Newsroom’ an exclusive inside look at how cartels operate along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The daughter of alleged Mexican cartel boss Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, aka "El Mencho," was sentenced to 30 months in prison Friday.
Jessica Johanna Oseguera Gonzalez, a 34-year-old dual U.S.-Mexican citizen, pleaded guilty in March to violating the Kingpin Act, which prohibits Americans from having financial dealings with companies that aid narcotics traffickers.
Gonzalez was arrested in 2020 when she traveled to Washington, D.C., to attend the trial of her brother Ruben, aka "El Menchito," who is facing drug and weapons charges. She has been in jail for the past 15 months.
