Authorities in Colombia seized nearly two metric tons of cocaine bound for Ensenada, Baja California.
Street-Talk Version:
Yo, word on the street is that Colombian anti-drug squads snagged a massive haul of coke bound for Ensenada, Baja California, a place where the Sinaloa Cartel, Arellano Félix Cartel, and Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) hold it down.
Now, check this out - authorities nabbed 1,938 kilos of coke hydro in a container shipping from Montevideo, Uruguay, through Guayaquil, Ecuador, before landing in Buenaventura, Valle del Cauca. This seizure wasted moolah worth over $63 million and prevented the distribution of over 4.8 million doses of drugs.
In 2024, the legal eagles of Baja California spilled the beans that three drug cartels were icing in the state: the Tijuana Cartel, Arellano Félix Cartel, and CJNG. The Tijuana Cartel runs deep in Baja California since at least 1980, with Enedina leading the charge.
Now, here's the scoop - Semanario Zeta reported this year that CJNG has been sneaking more cells into Ensenada to beef up its criminal presence in the region against the Sinaloa Cartel. They ain't taking kindly to Sinaloa in Ensenada. Want proof? Check out the banner placed in a public square: "Ensenada port, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel 'CJNG', is active and well-present in this plaza... not a single Sinaloa or 'Chapo' welcome."
Now, let me tell you how the war between the Sinaloa Cartel and the Beltrán Leyva went down after that attack on El Vicentillo on the Day of the Child. The CJNG has been racking up wins in Oaxaca, Sinaloa, and Baja California, taking down labs and stashes of meth. Plus, a Morena candidate for the Coxquihui mayorship in Veracruz, German Valencia, got whacked.
