Also arrested were José “N,” who allegedly led a group of enforcers used to carry out land seizures, and Isair “N,” identified as the alleged leader of hitmen.

During the simultaneous operations, authorities seized 385 doses of suspected drugs, a firearm, license plates, various documents, and cell phone SIM cards.
