The state of Zacatecas continues to suffer at the hands of the hyperviolent Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) as the criminal organization expands its turf.
Most of the violence in Zacatecas is tied to a turf war between factions of CJNG and cells of the Sinaloa Cartel.
This week, a judge in Mexico’s federal prison of Puente Grande formally charged Silvano “El 25” Aguilar Colin, a man who federal authorities claim is one of the main instigators of violence in Zacatecas and Jalisco. Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to Mexico City and the states of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used.
