JALISCO NEW GENERATION CARTEL

Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) is a transnational criminal organization notorious for its extreme and brazen use of violence as a tool to intimidate and assert its authority. CJNG maintains its stronghold in the western states of Mexico including Jalisco, but its operations extend throughout the country. CJNG is known for their innovative use of rigging drones to drop explosives, a violent tactic adopted from insurgent groups. CJNG’s use of armed drones and other tactics, such as public executions and kidnappings, against communities go beyond intimidation, as they seek to instill terror and depopulate communities to facilitate their takeover of territories and routes. CJNG has links to known terrorist entities, including the National Liberation Army (ELN) and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). The primary activities conducted by CJNG include drug dealing, prostitution, extortion, kidnapping, and assassination. In January 2025, the Toronto Police Service seized 835kg of cocaine linked to CJNG, marking the largest drug haul in Toronto’s history.
