Two Years After the Fracture of the Sinaloa Cartel, Criminal Groups Lower Their Profile
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Two years after the fracture of the Sinaloa Cartel sparked an internal war in northwestern Mexico, the country's criminal landscape is undergoing a transformation. Authorities' actions against cartel structures, rival consolidations, and U.S. pressure have led to less visible violence. Despite a 53% drop in daily homicide victims nationwide, Sinaloa remains a violence hotspot due to ongoing disputes between Los Chapitos and La Mayiza. Mexican authorities reported over 67,000 arrests and significant drug seizures from October 2024 to August 2026. Experts suggest that reducing violence requires addressing corruption and the ties between authorities and criminal organizations.
