US Targets United Cartels, Offering a $26 Million Reward for Five of Its Members

The U.S. targets five leaders of Cárteles Unidos with rewards up to $10 million each and deploys forces to combat drug trafficking and narco-terrorism, officials said.

  • On August 14, 2025, the U.S. announced up to $26 million in rewards for Cárteles Unidos leaders and deployed forces to the Southern Caribbean Sea.
  • Earlier this year, Cárteles Unidos was formed in Michoacán to resist incursions by Knights Templar and CJNG, officials say.
  • Under the Narcotics Rewards Program, officials have offered up to $26 million for information on Cárteles Unidos leaders, with specific amounts for individuals not publicly specified.
  • Meanwhile, Homeland Security Investigations is urging anyone with information to come forward, and the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has sanctioned five leaders and seven other members.
  • The initiative aligns with President Donald Trump’s 'America First' priorities and his push for direct military action against cartels, though experts warn it could violate Mexican sovereignty and harm civilians.
