La Linea hitman commander 'Chivo' captured in Ciudad Juárez by Mexican Navy

Mexican Navy and FGR arrested Armando Maldonado Lozoya, a La Linea hitman commander, in Ciudad Juárez on September 25, with the arrest disclosed five days later after he was flown to Mexico City. The delayed announcement suggests operational security or ongoing investigations. This is a notable blow to the Juárez Cartel's armed wing but does not alter the broader cartel landscape.
