El Mapa de la Expansión: Cómo el CJNG conquistó el mercado de drogas en EE. UU.
ATLANTA.- No es solo una amenaza fronteriza; es una red que ya opera en casi cada rincón de los Estados Unidos. Según el reciente Evaluación Nacional de la Amenaza de las Drogas (NDTA) 2025 de la DEA, el Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) ha consolidado una infraestructura que rivaliza con las corporaciones más grandes del mundo, distribuyendo principalmente fentanilo, metanfetaminas y cocaína.
De la Costa Oeste a los 50 Estados
Lo que hace una década era una presencia limitada principalmente a California, hoy es una red nacional. La evolución ha sido agresiva:
- 2015: Presencia limitada mayoritariamente a la Costa Oeste.
- 2018: Consolidación en “hubs” críticos como Nueva York, Chicago y Atlanta.
- 2025: Operaciones confirmadas en los 50 estados del país, utilizando pandillas locales para la distribución final.
Los Centros de Distribución Clave (Hubs)
El CJNG no opera de forma centralizada, sino a través de nodos estratégicos que conectan las rutas de contrabando con los mercados más densos:
| Región | Centro de Operación (Hub) | Impacto Reportado |
| Costa Oeste | Los Ángeles y San Francisco | Punto de entrada principal y distribución regional. |
| Midwest | Chicago | Dominio del suministro mayorista en colaboración con bandas locales. |
| Este | Nueva York y Newark | Mercado de alto consumo y distribución de fentanilo. |
| Sureste | Atlanta y Miami | Hub logístico para la distribución en todo el sur. |
| Sur (Texas) | San Antonio | Nodo crítico de conexión con las rutas fronterizas. |
La Estrategia de Infiltración: Más allá de las grandes urbes
El FBI confirmó en un testimonio de 2025 que el grupo forma parte de más de 850 investigaciones activas. Su éxito no se debe solo a la fuerza, sino a su adaptabilidad:
- Redes Descentralizadas: Han logrado llegar a áreas rurales y suburbanas donde antes no había presencia de cárteles internacionales.
- Plataformas Digitales: El uso de redes sociales y servicios de correo para la venta y distribución directa.
- Alianzas Locales: En lugar de pelear por cada esquina, actúan como proveedores mayoristas de organizaciones criminales ya establecidas en ciudades como Atlanta y Chicago.
Advertencia de la DEA: La expansión actual del CJNG representa una amenaza mayor que en años previos, situándose en un nivel de peligrosidad y alcance comparable al del Cártel de Sinaloa.
