The CJNG's Reign of Terror

Violence and Drug Trafficking in Mexico

The Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación, also known as CJNG, is one of the most powerful and violent criminal organizations in Mexico. It is a drug trafficking organization that operates primarily in the western states of Jalisco, Michoacán, and Colima, but also has a significant presence in other regions of Mexico, as well as in the United States and Europe.

The CJNG was formed in 2010 by a former member of the Sinaloa Cartel, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as “El Mencho.” The group quickly gained notoriety for its extreme violence and ruthless tactics, including beheadings and mass killings. It has since become one of the most dominant drug cartels in Mexico, with a presence in nearly every state in the country.

The CJNG is involved in a wide range of criminal activities, including drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, and human trafficking. It is particularly known for its production and distribution of methamphetamine, which has become one of the most profitable illegal drugs in the world.

The CJNG has also become infamous for its attacks on Mexican law enforcement and military personnel. In recent years, it has targeted police stations and military convoys, killing dozens of officers and soldiers. The group has even used rocket launchers and other heavy weaponry in its attacks, demonstrating a level of sophistication and firepower that is rare among Mexican criminal organizations.

Despite its brutal tactics, the CJNG has also tried to portray itself as a Robin Hood-like organization that helps the poor and fights corruption. It has even claimed responsibility for providing aid to communities affected by natural disasters, such as earthquakes and hurricanes.

The CJNG’s rise to power has been aided by its ability to recruit members from all levels of Mexican society, including former police officers, military personnel, and politicians. It has also formed alliances with other criminal organizations in Mexico and abroad, including the Los Zetas cartel and the Italian mafia.

The Mexican government has launched several operations to try to dismantle the CJNG, but the cartel has proven to be incredibly resilient. It continues to operate with impunity in many parts of Mexico, and its influence is felt throughout the country. The CJNG’s ongoing presence is a testament to the challenges that Mexico faces in its battle against drug trafficking and organized crime.
