US Sanctions Ex-Husband of Baja California Governor for Sinaloa Cartel Ties

The US Treasury formalized sanctions against Carlos Torres, ex-husband of Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar, for alleged support to the Sinaloa Cartel. This marks a rare direct sanction targeting a family member of a sitting Mexican governor, potentially straining US-Mexico relations. The move signals heightened US enforcement against cartel financial networks and may have political implications for the governor.
