The Jalisco New Generation Cartel, in the line of fire
The internal war that has weakened the Sinaloa Cartel has only strengthened its main rivals, but the pressure from the United States to capture its leader, along with the discovery of the Teuchitlán ranch, has refocused attention on the brutal organization
A battle broke out on the border between the Mexican states of Jalisco and Michoacán on March 16. In Guadalupe de Lerma, near where it all began, the first casualties fell. Desperate audio recordings began arriving at the barracks: “Help, help, help! We need help here at the entrance to Tanhuato. They have us in a damned truck. They attacked us on Highway 45.”
