In the United States, attention is focused on the R3 clan, a new dominant force. This group is led by the stepson of Mencho, a key figure in the Cartel Jalisco. The stepson has established a strong organization with some of the most powerful individuals who previously worked under the cartel's founder.

Further information about the R3 clan and its leader can be found through El País México, which has reported on the development of this new structure within the Cartel Jalisco.
