Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación, Mexico’s fastest-growing and most violent cartel, appears to be moving into Sinaloa cartel territory in Tijuana, just across the border from San Diego.

CJNG is reportedly teaming up with former members of the Arellano Félix Organization (AFO) and recruiting current members of the Sinaloa cartel in the city in order to take control of drug-trafficking routes to the US, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune.

“Nueva Generacion does not have a significant physical presence in Baja California, but has focused on forging alliances with members of the Tijuana underworld in a challenge to the Sinaloa cartel,” said Daniel de la Rosa, the public safety secretary in Baja California.

Bodies found in the city recently have borne narcomensajes, messages from the person’s killer, so named because they usually indicate a drug-related killing.

“The cleaning continues in Baja [California] on the part of El Mencho. Sincerely, CJNG CTNG,” read one message, referring to both CJNG and its local affiliate, Cartel Tijuana Nueva Generacion.

“El Mencho” is believed to be CJNG’s current leader, Nemesio Osegura Ramos.
