The advance of the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG) throughout the Mexican territory seems unstoppable, no matter that it must confront powerful and violent enemies such as the Northeast Cartel (CDN) and its fearsome armed arm "La Tropa del Infierno", the Cartel from the Gulf or Los Zetas.

Although since last July, alleged CJNG hitmen disseminated images proclaiming their presence in the municipality of Villa de Arriaga, in San Luis Potosí, the cartel led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes “El Mencho” has already been operating in that entity for months, where they sell retail drugs.

On Tuesday a video spread on social networks emerged, where heavily armed men who claim to be from the Jalisco Cartel, announced their arrival in the state and issued a warning to the Northeast Cartel, the Gulf (CDG) and Los Zetas.

The clip shows a subject dressed in tactical clothing and a covered face sitting behind a white table where a blanket with the acronym CJNG and the map of San Luis Potosí appears, surrounded by at least 30 heavily armed subjects, including with a powerful submachine gun and covered faces, in what appears to be a rural property.

With the distorted voice, the seated man sent a fearsome message against his enemies fighting the state territory.

"Good morning citizens of San Luis Potosí: we are the Jalisco Cartel New Generation. We are here to fight the rats, extortionists and kidnappers belonging to the Zetas,   Northeast Cartel and Gulf Cartel."

And continues:

“Attention authorities, the fight is not against you, we come to work for the welfare of citizens, and they have been affected by the collection of piso/tax and infinite abuse. The director of the Ministerial Police José Guadalupe Celestino, is the one who handles the sale of drugs in the state capital. Or you already forgot, Mr. Governor, the operation of June 21, 2018 by the SEIDO (Office of the Special Prosecutor for Organized Crime Investigation) against José Guadalupe, head of the Ministerial Police, element for which you intervened, preventing him from being arrested. ”

“To everyone who supports Los Zetas, Northeast Cartel, Golfo and Guadalupe Castillo, refrain from participating in their ranks. We are Jalisco Cartel New Generation and we are here and we are here to stay, ” immediately afterwards the hitmen raise their weapons. The video ends with shots from the  weapons of  several armed men, next to several vans parked at the foot of a hill or a mountain with narco music and armed men, next to several vans parked at the foot of a hill or a mountain.

Also, on Sunday Elements of the National Army secured weapons and drugs belonging to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) in the municipality of Villa de Arriaga, in San Luis Potosí.

According to the report, the military made a surveillance  in the vicinity of the Lagos de Moreno-San Luis Potosí highway when they identified a man who fled aboard a truck.

The elements of the National Defense Secretariat conducted a search on foot and under a tree identified 37 packages with marijuana, weighing approximately 355 kilograms, hidden under a tarp. They also seized a cache of weapons.
