Eight drug kingpins, also known as "plaza bosses," were identified by a multi-agency effort earlier this month.

The bosses, covering a drug network spanning the length of the southern U.S. border, are members of the Sinaloa Cartel, according to a release from Customs and Border Protection.

The eight men were identified as follows:

• Cenobio Flores Pacheco (a.k.a. Luis Fernando Castro Villa)
• Jesus Alfredo Salazar Ramirez
• Guillermo Nieblas Nava (a.k.a. Adelmo Niebla Gonzalez)
• Ramon Ignacio Paez Soto
• Felipe De Jesus Sosa Canisales
• Armando Lopez Aispuro
• Jose Javier Rascon Ramirez
• Raul Sabori Cisneros

A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) special task force along with the Drug Enforcement Agency and the State of Department say these men helped oversee the illegal flow of drugs over the border.

PRAY:

• Mighty God, capture, convict, and bring down the operations of the Sinaloa Cartel Plaza bosses: Cenobio Flores Pacheco, Jesus Alfredo Salazar Ramirez, Guillermo Nieblas Nava, Ramon Ignacio Paez Soto, Felipe De Jesus Sosa Canisales, Armando Lopez Aispuro, Jose Javier Rascon Ramirez, Raul Sabori Cisneros.
• Capture and convict Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the leader of the Sinaloa cartel, known as Public Enemy No. 1.
• Give success to law enforcement and military personnel in the breakup and destruction of the TCO/DTO supply lines, distribution, and sales operations.
• We pray for key cartel leaders to come to repentance and faith in Christ and that word of their salvations would shake the trafficking underworld.
• Lord, protect our law enforcement as they carry out their God-ordained responsibilities to keep law and order and defend our citizens.

PRAISES!
