Ecuadorian authorities arrested two Mexican nationals during simultaneous operations conducted on Wednesday, August 26, by the National Police. The suspects are allegedly linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and were reportedly responsible for coordinating drug shipments destined for the United States.
Meanwhile, in Mexico, the government of Hidalgo rejected claims that the arrest of suspected CJNG members during a security cabinet mega-operation proves the criminal organization operates within that state. Governor Julio Menchaca Salazar publicly denied any local presence of the cartel despite the high-profile enforcement actions.
