Comment on U.S. announces 15 indictments against Mexican drug cartel

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department announced 15 indictments against members of one of Mexico’s largest drug cartels on Tuesday. Attorney General Jeff Sessions unveiled the charges against members of Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion, or CJNG, which is accused of trafficking tons of cocaine, methamphetamine and fentanyl-laced heroin into the U.S. The announcement comes a day after Sessions named the cartel one of the top five transnational criminal organizations. Investigators believe the cartel brings about five tons of cocaine and five tons of methamphetamine into the U.S.
