CJNG convoy arrives with show of force in Jalisco town; ‘We’re not going away’

 

Jalisco cartel claims territory in El Volantín, a town of 500 in Tizápan el Alto

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) has announced its arrival in El Volantín, a small town in Jalisco near Lake Chapala, and it doesn’t plan on leaving any time soon.

A video showing a group of some 20 armed men in bulletproof vests, some of which were emblazoned with the CJNG initials, circulated on social media on Tuesday.

“We’ve arrived in Volantín and we’re not leaving,” some of the men shout. One declares that they are all members of the “four-letter” cartel, which is based in Jalisco but operates in most Mexican states.

The video was filmed on Juárez street one block from the main square in El Volantín, reported the newspaper El Universal, which used Google Street View to confirm the location. The town, home to approximately 500 people, is located next to the El Volantín dam in the municipality of Tizápan el Alto, which borders Michoacán.

 

The nearby towns of Mazamitla, Jalisco, and San José de Gracia, Michoacán, are considered strongholds of the CJNG, whose leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes is a wanted man in Mexico and the United States.

Recent violence in the region has been attributed to a turf war between the CJNG and a crime group called Los Pájaros de la Sierra. The Tizápan el Alto police chief was ambushed and killed earlier this month while traveling on a local highway.

Authorities haven’t commented publicly on the new CJNG video, which El Universal sources say was filmed sometime during the past two weeks.

Jalisco cartel henchman have shown off the criminal organization’s immense firepower in many other videos posted to social media. One that appeared online in 2020 showed scores of heavily-armed and masked men shouting support for “El Mencho” while standing alongside a long convoy of armored vehicles.

No more highly trained Federal Police for 2 years now. No more federal government funded civil criminal intelligence agency for 3 1/2 years now. Semi-trained military soldiers taking over for the Federal Police - National Guard. No more collusion with the DEA now. A great setup for them.

Only one dirt road from Volantin to San Jose de Gracia where 17 CJNG were executed in February by the Parajos de la Sierra  The arrival of CJNG in Volantin means one thing and it  does not look good for the Parajos de la Sierra who are protecting San Jose de Gracia.  Volantin is about 15 minutes West of San Jose de Gracia. This will not end well.  Not a good time to visit Mazamitla sin "chaleco de anti-balas "

I ruled out any day drives to the other side of the lake several months ago. I feel for the folks, both nationals and extranjeros, who live over that way.

You have to wonder when videos are posted with 30 cartel members strolling around a small town like Volantin for days when there are hundreds of Feds/military troops within 15 minutes in Mazamitla and Tizapan el Alto who are sitting on their hands.  

There were many Feds/military in Tizapan a couple of weeks ago when the police commander was assassinated on the carretera by the CJNG.

It is no secret the cartels control much of Mexico and it is getting worse.  The CJNG is far worse than Sonora ever dreamed of being.

Keep your heads down and don't even think of using drugs or going to bars at night.

Most people managed to survive this in Columbia and most here will do likewise.
