Criminal groups in Mexico are not monolithic—networks form and fragment, shifting alliances and tactics by region. Revenue streams include drug trafficking, extortion, fuel theft, kidnapping, and control of local markets and routes.
Violence and coercion land first on residents, migrants, small businesses, and local officials. Impacts travel outward: school closures, displaced families, disrupted trade, and pressured public finances.
Data are imperfect. Many crimes go unreported; official categories vary; local risk can change block by block. We prioritize verifiable facts, documents, public records, and on-the-ground reporting.
Our coverage follows patterns, prosecutions, policies, and how communities respond—avoiding rumor and minimizing harm.
Below are our newest national organized crime stories. This list updates automatically.
