CJNG Destroy Camp Of CU Hitmen & The CU Extorting Families, Michoacan

By HEARST 8/20/2021 02:50:00 PM


Tepalcatepec CJNG Video

A video which allegedly depicts Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) members from the subgroup Grupo Delta, or Los Deltas was uploaded to social media on August 19, 2021.

The social media account which uploaded it, Elblogdelosguachos, alleges that the video depicts men from Grupo Delta walking through a Carteles Unidos camp they had just destroyed on the banks of Tepalcatepec municipality, Michoacán.


Warning: Video depicts dead bodies and mutilation of said dead bodies.

In the video, the hitmen can be seen shouting various insults at a dead Carteles Unidos man who they had allegedly just killed. The deceased appears to be wearing a tactical vest and a hitman stomps on his corpse, then the camera man appears to shoot his dead body.


The hitmen continue walking through a camp that appears to be located in a remote wooded location, with green tarps slung to provide shade to chairs. An emplacement constructed out of sandbags is walked into. One of the hitmen can be seen to be crouching down, filling up a bottle and his vest bears the letters DELTA. Then more sandbag walls are walked by, tables with plastic coolers presumably for food are passed.


Two more dead CU hitmen are seen lying on the ground near two CJNG men, both wearing vests that read DELTA. One of the CJNG men appears to grab a large rock and drop it onto one of the heads of the dead bodies. Then he proceeds to stab the dead man’s skull with some sort of pole or pike. Then he moves onto doing the same to the next dead body. The cameraman says towards the end of the video “for the four letters”, which refers to the four letters of CJNG.

CU Fining Families of Michoacán

Residents of the municipalities of Tepalcatepec, Coalcoman, Los Reyes and Buenavista in the state of Michoacán have reported that they are forced to pay a fee of 300 pesos per house to the organized crime groups that dominate the region. Allegedly if these fines are not paid, the families are threatened with potential "punishments".

According to Proceso, residents reported that those who refuse to participate in the defense of the barricades are forced to pay 300 pesos per week. The barricades in question have been constructed and are manned by Carteles Unidos forces. They presumably have been constructed as part of the larger war between the CU and the CJNG, as the CU fights to maintain control of Tepalcatepec despite more frequently attempted pushes by the CJNG in the last month.

Mexican Cartel Tactical Note #47: Anti-CJNG IAFV Trenches Dug in Michoacán

Robert J. Bunker, John P. Sullivan, and Alma Keshavarz

The ongoing Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) offensive into Michoacán has been met by the creation of defensive trenches dug across multiple state highways/roads in mid-November 2020. These anti-improvised armored fighting vehicle (IAFV) trenches were created by Los Viagras, Carteles Unidos, and/or local community self-defense groups (autodefensas) in an apparent co-ordinated effort to obstruct CJNG commando unit—consisting of IAFVs, monstruos (monster trucks), narcotanques (narco-tanks), and soft-skinned vehicles and gun trucks with mounted infantry elements—access to towns under their control.

. . .

Who: Attributed to Los Viagras, Carteles Unidos, and/or local community self-defense groups (autodefensas).

What: Anti-vehicle (defensive) trenches—some with dirt berms—dug across highway/road choke points using heavy machinery.

When: ~15-16 November 2020. Resident complaints about the ditches made on 16 November; ditches were created on that date or possibly a day sooner.

Where: State highways/roads with four roads interrupted by at least five trenches cut between La Limonera, Coalcomán and Pinolapa, Tepalcatepec, Michoacán. These roads ultimately lead to Jalisco (state). The trenches obstruct access to the towns of Aquila, Apatzingán, Buenavista, Chinicuila, Coalcomán y Tepalcatepec, Michoacán.

Why: To block Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) commando(s) avenues of approach into the towns controlled by/in the sphere of influence of Los Viagras, Carteles Unidos, and local autodfensas. CJNG has been launching an operational offensive into the region for roughly a week.

. . .

In an attempt to prevent Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) hitmen from entering their communities and attacking them, residents of two municipalities in western Michoacán have taken defensive measures by digging trenches across highways.

Residents of Coalcóman and Tepalcatepec, neighboring municipalities that border Jalisco, cut road access at La Limonera and La Pinolapa, the newspaper Milenio reported…

…According to residents, CJNG gunmen have entered several communities in armored vehicles over the past week and launched attacks directed at their adversaries, among which is a group known as Carteles Unidos…

…The decision to dig the trenches came after members of a CJNG cell set fire to 11 vehicles last weekend in the Coalcóman community of Puerto de las Cruces, apparently to stop the entry of security forces from Jalisco after a cartel ambush.

With drone, 'El Abuelo' boasts how he left the CJNG

MORELIA, Michoacan.- With a video recorded with a drone and a narcocorrido, the group of Juan José Farías Álvarez, alias "El Abuelo Farías" and the United Cartels, showed how Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes alias "El Mencho", leader of the Jalisco Cartel Nueva Generación (CJNG), suffered a defeat after this confrontation which left 9 people dead and 11 injured, after a battle lasting more than eight hours in the municipality of Tepalcatepec, in Michoacán.

Before that, several videos of the bloody confrontations were already circulating on social networks where the shootings are heard and armed individuals are seen barricading themselves to respond to the hail of bullets.

In social networks it is also assured that in this confrontation a "drug tank" capable of withstanding heavy-caliber bursts was used.

The video recorded with a drone shows the balance of the confrontation where several damaged vehicles appear, as well as those used to defend themselves against the incursion of the people of "El Mencho", who declared war on the self-defense group for several weeks and which he promised to take his life.
