Mexico’s fastest-rising cartel, the Jalisco New Generation gang, has a reputation for ruthlessness and violence unlike any since the fall of the old Zetas cartel.
In parts of the country it is fighting medieval-style battles, complete with fortified redoubts, to expand nationwide, from the outskirts of
Mexico City, into the tourist resorts around Cancun, and along the northern border.
It is a promise that cartels in Mexico have long made, and always broken.
