AI Summary:
Jalisco and Sinaloa cartels have battled for control of various parts of Mexico. They are among six Mexican organized crime groups recently designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations by the U.S. Government. One of authorities’ recent advances against Jalsco was the arrest of José Gregorio Lastra. The DEA says the cartel has a presence in 21 of Mexico’s 32 states, exceeding the Sinaloa cartel’s 19. Some analysts believe Jalisco is actually in as many as 25 states, including its home base in the same name. Sinaloa has been weakened by infighting among its factions following arrests of key leaders, including Joaqun “El Chapo” Guzmán, and Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada. Jalisco’s “capacity for violent action” and style of “irregular warfare” aided its speedy rise, which coincide with the emergence of fentanyl as a highly profitable revenue stream.

Despite being discovered in September 2024 and 10 people being arrested, the ranch’s investigation stalled until family members searching for their relatives went there themselves in March and raised the alarm about hundreds of clothing items they found, as well as apparent bone fragments. Since then, authorities have detained three local police officers who were allegedly tied to disappearances at the ranch.
