On Saturday, July 19, 2025, CJNG Cartel resumed its attacks against El Abuelo Farias/ Poncho La Quiringua/ El Guicho de Los Reyes/ and Los Caballeros Templarios. Simultaneously, the Jalisco Cartel New Generation armed wings, Fuerzas Especiales Mencho/ Grupo Delta, and Los Viagras Cartel (allies of CJNG) initiated an offensive attack on various flanks. The attacks of the CJNG Cartel occured in Tepalcatepec, banners were found in Los Reyes, and clashes occurred in Apatzingan.
On Tuesday, July 23, 2025, a video surfaced of alleged townspeople in Michoacán supporting the recent attacks by the CJNG Cartel against its rivals.
Good evening to all the Michoacán citizens, federal government, and the leaders of the Ministry of National Defense. The day of a social uprising is very near. As citizens, we will protect our families and stop the murders of innocent, hardworking people committed by Wicho, Poncho, and Abuelo Farías.
We say to the government, that if you are going to continue supporting the insults and abuses committed by these extortionists, the people will no longer allow it. Let them wage their war with other cartels. It's not fair that we, the people, have to pay for this.
Their extortion and fee collection business is lucrative. But now, they’re trying to recruit our wives and daughters to form so-called self-defense groups. Open your eyes: these self-defense groups are hitmen under the command of Wicho, Poncho, and Abuelo Farías. It's unjust to see them mess with the lives of people and hard working citizens.
We're fed up with their persecutions, the government's abuses, and their lies. The only thing they’ve ever given us was lots of empty promises. If Michoacán and Mexico need another revolution, it will be born here in Michoacán. The state of Michoacán will no longer live under the injustices of the government and the murders of the so-called self-defense groups.
As for you, Abuelo Farías, we all know that the government supports you with the weekly percentages you give them. Wicho and Poncho, we Michoacanos know that you are supported by the mayors of Los Reyes, Tingüindín, Tocimbo, and Cotija.
They’re the ones that allow them to have those scumbag public security directors who lend themselves to the disappearances of citizens and many other things. Let it be clear, government, this is our last warning. Expect us very soon.
