The CJNG has several domestic alliances with other criminal groups in Mexico, which help them to
expand their territory, enhance their capabilities, diversify their activities, and strengthen their
resilience. Some of the main domestic allies of the CJNG are:

- Los Cuinis: A drug trafficking organization led by Abigael González Valencia, the brother-in-law of
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, the leader of the CJNG. Los Cuinis are considered the financial arm of the
CJNG and have a presence in several states, such as Jalisco, Colima, Nayarit, and Guanajuato

- Grupo Elite: A paramilitary wing of the CJNG that is responsible for carrying out high-profile
assassinations, ambushes, and attacks against rival cartels and security forces. Grupo Elite is composed
of former military and police officers, as well as foreign mercenaries

- Sangre Nueva Zeta: A splinter group of the Zetas cartel that switched sides and joined the CJNG. They
operate mainly in Veracruz, Tabasco, and Chiapas

- Juárez Cartel: A traditional drug trafficking organization that has a long history of rivalry with the
Sinaloa Cartel. The Juárez Cartel has formed an alliance with the CJNG to counter the Sinaloa Cartel's
influence in Chihuahua and other northern states

- Gulf Cartel: Another old-time drug trafficking organization that has been weakened by internal conflicts
and external pressures. The Gulf Cartel has allied with the CJNG to fight against the Zetas and other
enemies in Tamaulipas and Nuevo León

- Tláhuac Cartel: A local criminal group that operates in Mexico City and its surroundings. The Tláhuac
Cartel has received support from the CJNG to confront La Unión Tepito and other rivals in the capital

- Zicuirán New Generation Cartel: A regional criminal group that emerged in Michoacán after the
fragmentation of the Knights Templar Cartel. The Zicuirán New Generation Cartel has aligned with the
CJNG to fight against Los Viagras and Cárteles Unidos in the Tierra Caliente region.

Potosí after the decline of the Zetas. The San Luis Potosí New Generation Cartel has joined forces with
