Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and commitment to global law enforcement – as of this morning, the DOJ/FBI officially apprehended our SIXTH Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitive within the last year. Thank you to for her relentless pursuit of justice, the US Attorney’s Office in L.A., and FBI Los Angeles.
Ryan James Wedding was taken into custody in Mexico last night. He is being transported from Mexico to the U.S. via FBI FTOC to face justice.
Wedding is believed to have been hiding in Mexico for over a decade – and has been wanted on charges for cocaine trafficking and murder since 2024.
He was allegedly running and participating in a transnational drug trafficking operation that routinely shipped hundreds of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia, through Mexico and Southern California to the United States and Canada – as a member of the Sinaloa Cartel.
This operation is the result of tremendous cooperation and team work with the Government of Mexico. Special thanks to our amazing partners in Mexico who facilitated this – President Sheinbaum, Secretary Harfuch, Ambassador Ron Johnson, Legat Mexico, and more. Our federal partners and more were also instrumental in this. Our HRT, CIRG, and aviation units did outstanding work.
This is the SIXTH Top Ten Most Wanted Fugitive this FBI has captured within a year – fugitives who had been on the run for almost 40 years combined. That’s no accident. President Trump is letting good cops be cops and the results speak for themselves.
This also comes on the heels of the FBI recently increasing our reward for the Ten Most Wanted to $1 million – reflecting we are more committed than ever to this program and what it accomplishes for delivering justice.
This is a huge day for a safer North America, and the world, and a message that those who break our laws and harm our citizens will be brought to justice.

Biden presided over the largest wave of child smuggling in human history, enriching the cartels beyond imagination.
President Trump shut it down.
Our immigration laws—all our immigration laws—are being upheld and illegal families are being kept together in their home countries.
