On May 29, 2025, Cartel Del Noreste or Northeast Cartel (C.D.N) published an official broadcast distancing their organization from extortion in Tamaulipas. The video is about two minutes and thirty seconds long, in which the C.D.N criminal organization claims jailed Gulf Cartel members in Tamaulipas prisons are using the 'CDN' brand for extortion. In recent weeks, Cartel Del Noreste has been active, waging war in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, now a stronghold of the Gulf Cartel Matamoros faction. Also, in the Ciudad Mier and Miguel Aleman municipalities, armed clashes against the Gulf Cartel Group Metros-CJNG have resumed.

Not to forget, CDN has also started to target law enforcement agencies once again in Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon, who are cooperating with rivals.

This notice goes out to the citizens of Nuevo Laredo. Specifically to the general population. We want to inform the residents of Nuevo Laredo that in recent months, the number of cases related to the crime of telephone extortion has increased, affecting respected citizens who seek to earn an honest living.

It’s important to make it clear that we, the Northeast Cartel, don’t participate in or are linked to acts of extortion, kidnapping, or threats by telephone. We also don’t solicit money from the civilian population by any means. Just as well, we reaffirm our respect for people who work honestly, including business owners, transport operators, taxi drivers, social media marketers, and any other citizen who strives to get ahead.

The recent acts of extortion are being committed by prison inmates located in Ciudad Victoria, Altamira, Reynosa, and Matamoros in Tamaulipas, who operate under the orders of the Gulf Cartel. They’re falsely impersonating CDN members to confuse and frighten the population. To avoid becoming a victim of extortion, we recommend that you stay calm in case you receive a suspicious call. 

Don’t provide personal, family, or banking information. Don’t make deposits or transfers. Hang up immediately and report this matter. Verify any information provided by the extortionists directly with your family. Educate minors and the elderly, who are often the most vulnerable to these scams.

Avoid answering calls from unknown numbers and denounce them. Extortionists commonly identify themselves as officials from the district attorney, the governor’s office, or delivery companies. They request that you provide or forward a code sent via WhatsApp with which they can hack your account.

They may also demand that you change the chip on your phone to cut off your communications. Do not comply with these instructions under any circumstances. We reiterate, the Cartel del Noreste doesn’t carry out extortion, nor does it solicit money or threaten citizens. We urge everyone to remain vigilant, avoid being deceived, and report these incidents to the relevant authorities. Only with information, prevention, and collaboration can we halt the spread of this crime, which affects everyone equally.

This communique goes out to the citizens and authorities of Nuevo Laredo. The Northeast Cartel informs the public that it is completely false that there is a curfew in the city, as has been reported on social media. 

We also categorically deny any threat to the DEA in Laredo, Texas, federal and state authorities in Mexico, or the US. The recent events in the city are the result of clashes resulting from operations carried out by the authorities. 

They don’t represent premeditated attacks against them. We call on the population to remain calm and to continue with their daily activities as usual. It is essential to avoid spreading false information that only seeks to sow fear and confusion in the community. 

We reiterate to the population that they can continue with their daily lives with peace of mind. We urge everyone not to fall for rumors that only seek to generate confusion and panic in our society. 

Sincerely, The Northeast Cartel
