The gunmen entered the rehabilitation center in Irapuato, in the state of Guanajuato, forced everyone to the ground and shot them, the local secretary of security said.
He said the CJNG, led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, does not dominate Guanajuato.According to the security expert, the state is experiencing three turf wars at the same time. Moreover, the CJNG could take advantage of the situation.

Raymundo Sandoval said enforced disappearances in Guanajuato have increased in the last three years because cartels have gained more power.Enforced disappearances are linked to human trafficking, forced prostitution, or forced recruiting into cartels. “We have had a series of events of this type.”The assault was the latest in a string of high-profile attacks across Mexico, where the government’s inability to curb rising violence has become a national crisis and a political liability for the president.The wave of violence has devastated Guanajuato, a center for automotive manufacturing and home to the city of San Miguel de Allende, a tourist draw and home to many American retirees. Guns were found at the scene and a photo published by local media showed a cluster of men lying face down in what appeared to be a pool of blood.“There is a turf war in the state between the Santa Rosa cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel,” said Elihú Ojeda, a spokesman for the state prosecutor’s office, in an interview. Despite capture of Guanajuato crime boss, the war is not over, expert warns There are 3 wars in total, and the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel is not dead yet Published on Tuesday, August 4, 2020 “So it’s a good moment to launch a more aggressive offensive and possibly finish them off.”It is not known how many, if any, of the victims at the rehabilitation center had ties to organized crime.
That battle has contributed to thousands of casualties across the state, as homicides more than tripled over the last five years, including several cases of mass killings.But the attack on the rehabilitation center, called “Recovering My Life,” one of many facilities across the country providing services to addicts without authorization from state authorities, was particularly lethal, even by the standards of the nation’s most violent state.“We have had events like this all over the state where they shoot at shops, small businesses, private homes where they go in looking for someone, but none of this magnitude,” Mr. Ojeda said.Last week, Mexican authorities arrested the mother and sister of the leader of the Santa Rosa de Lima cartel, escalating the tensions between the government and organized crime.Eduardo Guerrero Gutiérrez, a security analyst at Lantia Consultores in Mexico City, said that Wednesday’s attack was likely an attempt by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel to hit their rivals at a moment of vulnerability.“They smell blood and know that their rival is weak,” Mr. Guerrero said. Some may even be infiltrated by criminal groups. “The violence generated by organized crime not only takes the lives of the young, but it takes the peace from families in Guanajuato.” Quick guide Mexico's evolving war on drugs We have reviews of the best places to see in Irapuato.
