Why the CJNG Cartel Is Stronger Than Ever Despite U.S. Crackdowns
On today’s episode, Andy welcomes back Stefano Ritondale from @AllSourceNews to discuss the dramatic rise in U.S. cocaine consumption and its impact on Mexican cartels. Cocaine use has surged by 154% in western states since 2019, fueling the power of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), led by Nemesio Rubén “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes.
Despite the Trump administration’s efforts to curb cartel influence through sanctions and the designation of these groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, demand for cocaine remains strong, making it the second most trafficked drug into the U.S. after fentanyl. Andy and Stefano explore whether these policy measures truly weaken criminal networks or risk escalating violence and instability across the border.
