The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) is one of Mexico's most powerful and violent drug trafficking organizations. Founded in the 2010s, it emerged as a splinter group of the Milenio Cartel and has since become a dominant force in Mexico's criminal landscape. Led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as "El Mencho," the CJNG is notorious for its ruthless tactics, including mass killings, beheadings, and the use of military-grade weaponry.

The cartel is based in Jalisco but operates throughout Mexico and internationally, with a significant presence in the United States, Europe, and South America. It traffics various drugs, including methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl, and has diversified its criminal activities to include extortion, kidnapping, and fuel theft.

The CJNG has engaged in deadly turf wars with rival cartels, notably the Sinaloa Cartel and Los Zetas, resulting in widespread violence and instability in regions where they operate. They have also targeted Mexican law enforcement and government officials, carrying out brazen attacks on police and military personnel.

Despite facing pressure from Mexican authorities and the U.S. government, the CJNG has proven resilient and continues to expand its operations. Its sophisticated network, vast financial resources, and willingness to use extreme violence make it a formidable adversary for law enforcement agencies in Mexico and abroad.















Now, in 2024, the expansion plan for CJNG has accelerated and along with the expansion comes even more violence.
