The Tijuana Cartel, also known as the Arellano Félix Organization, was one of Mexico's most notorious drug trafficking organizations. Founded in the late 1980s by the Arellano Félix brothers, the cartel quickly rose to power by controlling the key Tijuana-San Diego border corridor, a major drug smuggling route into the United States. The cartel was known for its extreme violence, sophisticated smuggling operations, and extensive corruption.
Benjamin Arellano Félix was the strategic leader, while his brother Ramón served as the brutal enforcer. The cartel maintained its dominance through assassinations, kidnappings, and bribery, eliminating rivals and silencing authorities. Their violent reign included the 1993 assassination of Cardinal Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo, which drew international attention.
The Tijuana Cartel engaged in a bloody rivalry with the Sinaloa Cartel, led by Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, leading to a violent turf war that claimed thousands of lives. The cartel's power began to decline in the early 2000s following the death of Ramón and the arrest of Benjamin, leading to internal struggles and fragmentation.
By the late 2000s, the Tijuana Cartel had splintered into smaller factions, with some aligning with rival cartels to survive. Although it remains active today, the cartel's influence has significantly diminished, leaving behind a legacy of violence and corruption that shaped the modern drug trade in Mexico.
