Mexico is run by the cartels.
Mexico village a ghost town after killings and cartel warning: "Either you leave or you'll die"
MARCH 30, 2022
A burning truck is seen as Mexican soldiers arrive in the village of Palmas Altas, which had been taken over by criminal gangs and its residents had to move for safety, in Zacatecas state, Mexico, on March 14, 2022.
Escorted by heavily armed soldiers, a Mexican farmer returns to his ransacked ranch house near the front line of a war between drug cartels, whose acronyms are scrawled on bullet-pocked walls.
Recently recaptured by the security forces, Palmas Altas in the northern state of Zacatecas is now a ghost town, apart from a few well-fed dogs walking under a blazing sun.
A burnt-out pickup truck is left abandoned at the entrance to the village, which sits on an arid plateau at the foot of mountains.
Graffiti signed "CJNG" warns that the area is under the control of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, whose leader Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera is one of the United States' most-wanted fugitives, with a $10 million bounty on his head.
"He is the number one priority for DEA and frankly for federal law enforcement in the United States," DEA agent Matthew Donahue told CBS News in 2019.
The Department of Justice considers the Jalisco cartel to be "one of the five most dangerous transnational criminal organizations in the world."
On a nearby wall, the acronym "CJNG" has been crossed out with black paint to make way for the letters "CDS" — imprisoned drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's Sinaloa cartel.

Since 2020, the two cartels have been fighting over Palmas Altas and Zacatecas — whose main city is a colonial center known for its Baroque-style architecture — with the state's drug trafficking routes towards the United States, as well as ports on the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico coasts.
