The Juárez Cartel is responsible for smuggling tons of narcotics from
Mexico into the
United States throughout its long and turbulent
history, and the group’s intense rivalry with the Sinaloa Cartel helped turn Juárez into one of the most violent places in the world.
Despite recent
news reports, the Juárez Cartel remains one of the most powerful criminal organizations in
Mexico and the region.
Small cells carry out different types of operations ranging from transportation and distribution of drugs; gangs, mostly in the north, act as the enforcement wing and are involved in human trafficking and kidnapping operations.
