El Chapo's Sons Form Alliance with Notorious Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación to Take Down Rival Faction in Sinaloa

In a dramatic twist to the ongoing drug cartel wars in Mexico, a violent clash between two factions of the notorious Sinaloa Cartel has escalated into a brutal battle for control, culminating in a shocking new alliance. The sons of infamous drug kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, also known as Los Chapitos, have reportedly joined forces with the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG), a fearsome rival group led by Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera.

The revelation comes after weeks of intense bloodshed in Culiacán, the heart of the Sinaloa Cartel’s empire, as the rival factions of Los Chapitos and La Mayiza—led by Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada—have been locked in a bitter conflict. Violence has exploded throughout the region, with daily reports of murders, kidnappings, armed confrontations, and street blockades as both sides fight for dominance.

This internal war, according to seasoned journalist Luis Chaparro, traces back to a shocking betrayal. It is alleged that one of El Chapo’s sons, Joaquín Guzmán López, orchestrated the kidnapping of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada aboard a plane, where Zambada was ultimately handed over to U.S. authorities. Zambada, a founding member of the Sinaloa Cartel and long-time ally of El Chapo, reportedly saw this as a devastating act of treachery.

What began as a family squabble has turned into a full-scale war. On one side, El Mayito Flaco, Ismael Zambada’s son, and his allies have vowed revenge for the kidnapping of Zambada García. On the other side, Los Chapitos, led by Ivan Archivaldo and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, are determined to eradicate Los Mayos and seize full control of the Sinaloa Cartel, once one of the world’s most powerful drug organizations.

For more than a month, the streets of Culiacán have been drenched in violence. Bodies are piling up as both factions wear each other down. Yet, behind the scenes, an even more sinister development has been brewing. According to Chaparro, both sides are desperate for reinforcements—seeking alliances not only with each other but also with the Mexican government and other criminal syndicates. And now, in a move that has shocked even seasoned crime watchers, Los Chapitos have sealed a deal with the CJNG, led by the infamous El Mencho.

The Rise of a New Alliance: Fuerza Especiales Unión (FEU)

Rumors about a possible collaboration between Los Chapitos and El Mencho had been circulating for weeks, but confirmation of the alliance was revealed just recently. According to sources within the cartel, the alliance is now official, and has even been given a name: Fuerza Especiales Unión, or Special Forces Union (FEU). The group is reportedly adopting a new insignia that features a rooster—a symbol associated with El Mencho—alongside a slice of pizza, representing Los Chapitos.

The formation of the FEU signals a significant shift in the landscape of Mexico’s organized crime networks. The cartel alliance is an ominous sign of an even more violent and dangerous era for the country, as two of Mexico’s most ruthless criminal organizations now stand united against their rivals.

At the heart of this alliance lies the strategic need to control Sinaloa, a vital stronghold in the global drug trade. For years, the region has been a key hub for narcotic production and distribution, particularly for heroin, methamphetamine, and fentanyl—drugs that flood into the United States. With Los Chapitos and La Mayiza both determined to hold onto the territory, the fight for control has pushed them to extremes.

While Los Chapitos might be the heirs to El Chapo's empire, their hold on power has been increasingly threatened by the fracturing of the Sinaloa Cartel. The brutal infighting between Los Chapitos and La Mayiza has created an opportunity for the CJNG to expand its influence. By forming this alliance, Los Chapitos are not only bolstering their strength but also opening the door for CJNG to step into a region it had struggled to infiltrate before.

The catalyst for the current violence began with what some are calling the ultimate betrayal. It’s alleged that El Mayo, one of El Chapo’s long-time comrades and a senior figure within the Sinaloa Cartel, was kidnapped by none other than one of El Chapo’s own sons. Reports suggest that El Mayo was on a plane bound for the United States when Joaquín Guzmán López turned him over to authorities. This move, viewed as a cold and calculated act of treachery, sparked outrage and ignited a chain reaction of retaliatory violence across Sinaloa.

With El Mayo now in U.S. custody, his son, El Mayito Flaco, has vowed revenge. His goal is to reclaim the territory and restore his family’s dominance, while also punishing Los Chapitos for the betrayal. The ongoing battle for power has left hundreds dead and shattered communities across Culiacán.

The High-Stakes Deal: Jalisco Hosts El Chapo's Son

The negotiations that led to the formation of the FEU were high-stakes and rife with tension. Representatives from both sides met at a ranch in Pachecos, Nayarit, to hash out the terms of the alliance. According to Illicit Investigations, one of the key conditions was that Los Chapitos would send one of their own to live under CJNG protection in Jalisco, as a sign of good faith and loyalty.

The chosen representative was none other than Jesús Alfredo Guzmán, El Chapo’s son, who is now reportedly residing on one of El Mencho’s properties in Jalisco. In return for their cooperation, Los Chapitos are receiving a steady supply of weapons, money, and manpower from CJNG, further fueling the conflict against La Mayiza.

The emergence of the Fuerza Especiales Unión has sent shockwaves through Mexico, with many experts fearing that the alliance could lead to an escalation in violence across the country. The combined firepower and resources of Los Chapitos and CJNG could potentially destabilize regions already crippled by drug violence.

As these two titans of organized crime join forces, questions arise about how the Mexican government and law enforcement will respond. Some worry that the government may struggle to contain the violence, while others speculate that certain factions within the state may be complicit in the cartel wars.

For now, one thing is certain: the alliance between Los Chapitos and El Mencho has reshaped the landscape of Mexico’s criminal underworld, and the battle for control of Sinaloa is far from over. As the bloodshed continues, the people of Culiacán remain caught in the crossfire of a power struggle that shows no signs of ending.
