There are many honest, decent people who are residents of Tijuana that are suffering because of the influx of Central American immigrants, terrorists, gang/drug cartel members that keep flowing toward the US. For years, Tijuana has been a strategic battleground for the drug cartels.

According to the DEA, there are five drug trafficking groups based in various parts of Mexico that are operating in the Tijuana region. Besides Sinaloa and CJNG, these are members of the Beltrán-Leyva Organization faction led by Fausto “Chapo” Isidro Meza; the Michoacan-based Familia Michoacana; and remnants of the group that once controlled Tijuana, the Arellano Félix Organization. The Arellanos are said to have joined forces with CJNG to oppose Sinaloa.

Sinaloa Cartel

It is one of the oldest drug trafficking organizations in Mexico; It exports and distributes wholesale quantities of methamphetamine, marijuana, cocaine and heroin in the United States, has distribution centers in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Denver and Chicago. Illicit drugs distributed by the Sinaloa Cartel are mainly smuggled to the United States through crossing points located along the Mexican border with California, Arizona, New Mexico and western Texas.

Jalisco New Generation Cartel

It is a newly created criminal organization, although one of the most powerful and fastest growing in Mexico and the United States; This growth occurred after having been separated from the Sinaloa Cartel in 2010. Like the Sinaloa Cartel, it deals with the trafficking of wholesale quantities of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and marijuana. The cartel has reported presence in 22 of the 32 states.

This cartel smuggles the drug through Tijuana, Juárez (Chihuahua) and Nuevo Laredo, and has drug distribution centers in the cities of Los Angeles, New York and Atlanta.

Cartel de Juárez

It is one of the oldest Mexican criminal organizations, endured a territorial war of several years with the Sinaloa Cartel, which in mid-2010 led to many murders in Chihuahua.

The Juarez Cartel mainly deals with marijuana and cocaine but reports from various law enforcement agencies indicate that the opium crop monitored by the cartel has increased significantly since 2013, surpassing marijuana cultivation in some regions.

Gulf Cartel

It is a long-standing criminal organization, although recently it has lost strength and has experienced a rapid rotation in leadership; The Gulf Cartel concentrates mainly on the trafficking of marijuana and cocaine, but has also recently expanded to heroin and methamphetamine. Because of its influence on areas in northeastern Mexico, drug smuggling is mostly done through southern Texas, through the border region between the Rio Grande Valley and Padre Island. It has a presence in Atlanta and controls distribution centers in Houston and Detroit.

The Zetas

They formed as an independent cartel, in early 2010, when they separated from the Gulf Cartel . At the time of the break with the Gulf, Los Zetas controlled drug trafficking in eastern, central and southern Mexico. However, in recent years, the influence of Los Zetas has decreased significantly.

They are currently divided into two rival factions: the Northeast Cartel, representing a renamed form of conventional zetas and the old school zetas; Los Zetas members smuggle most of their drugs through the border area between Del Rio and Falcon Lake, Texas; Currently, they traffic cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana through distribution centers in Laredo, Dallas, New Orleans and Atlanta.

Beltrán Leyva Cartel

They separated from the Sinaloa Cartel in 2008, although all the Beltrán Leyva brothers have been murdered or arrested, the remains of his organization still operate in several parts of Mexico (Guerrero, Morelos, Nayarit and Sinaloa).

Los Rojos, Los Guerreros Unidos, Organization Chapo Isidro and Los Mazatlecos are subgroups that have originated from the Beltrán Leyva organization. The Beltrán Leyva Cartel trusts in its alliance the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, the Juarez Cartel, and Los Zetas to access the drug trafficking corridors along the southern border of the United States.

The members of the Beltrán Leyva cartel traffic mainly in marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine; they maintain distribution centers in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta.
