Mexico's drug cartels

Mexico's drug cartels are criminal organizations that produce, trafficking, and distribute illegal drugs, primarily to the United States. They are involved in other illegal activities, such as extortion and human trafficking. Notable cartels include the Sinaloa, Jalisco New Generation, and Gulf Cartels. These groups often engage in violent conflict with each other and with law enforcement, leading to significant social and economic issues in Mexico. The impact of these cartels is felt not only in Mexico but also in the U.S., where drug abuse and violence related to trafficking are major concerns.
