It\u2019s been more than five years since Daniel Flores Fern\u00e1ndez disappeared. But telling the story now, his father H\u00e9ctor still wells up. It happened when Daniel was just 19, living with his pregnant girlfriend in the Mexican city of Guadalajara. Early one Saturday in May 2021, men linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) stormed his apartment, snatching Daniel from his girlfriend and unborn child. Half a decade on, he\u2019s still missing. H\u00e9ctor has since learned that his son is being held prisoner at a CJNG \u201csafe house\u201d somewhere in Guadalajara, where unwilling recruits are forced to work for Mexico\u2019s most violent drug gang. \u201cAll I can do is hope that he comes back to me one day,\u201d H\u00e9ctor says, dabbing his moist eyes with a thumb. \u201cThe pain is tremendous.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel\u2019s story is darkly familiar. Around a third of Mexico is ruled by cartels like the CJNG, while more than 130,000 people are missing nationwide. But what\u2019s different about Guadalajara, capital of Jalisco state in the west of the country, is that it is now welcoming thousands of football fans. The World Cup has just started, and the city\u2019s gleaming Akron Stadium is hosting a number of games. Cartel violence has unsurprisingly thrown these plans into doubt \u2014 and, even if the security forces do manage to keep order, the scourge of the drug gangs will linger long after the final whistle blows.<\/p>\n

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel has dominated the state for years. Emerging in 2010, after the so-called Milenio gang broke up, it\u2019s since expanded across Mexico and beyond. Today it boasts a presence in some 40 countries. Its big earner is drugs: the cartel pulls in billions of dollars annually trafficking fentanyl, meth and cocaine to the US. Jalisco\u2019s geography is key to this bonanza. Importing chemical precursors through ports such as Manzanillo, in the neighboring state of Colima, the CJNG then smuggles finished narcotics north to America\u2019s southwestern border.<\/p>\n

With wealth has come violence. The Jalisco cartel is now infamous for staging brazen attacks against Mexican government officials; that the CJNG leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, more commonly known as \u201cEl Mencho\u201d, remained at large was deeply embarrassing for President Claudia Sheinbaum and her government ahead of the World Cup. Further pressure came from Donald Trump, who pushed his Mexican counterpart to \u201cgo after\u201d the cartels, ominously warning that he\u2019d put US boots on the ground if she didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Things came to a head in February, when Mexican special forces swooped on El Mencho. He was fatally wounded, Mexican officials say, following a shootout at a remote mountain property near the town of Tapalpa, about 100 miles southwest of Guadalajara. But that coup, aided by US intel, soon sparked cartel reprisals across Jalisco. Gunmen torched cars and blocked roads, including at the beach resort of Puerto Vallarta, where terrified tourists were left cowering in their hotel rooms. The violence left 25 National Guards dead in Jalisco alone, with bloodshed taking place within 10 miles of the Akron Stadium.<\/p>\n

With the World Cup approaching, Sheinbaum urged calm, claiming that Mexico could ensure there was \u201cno risk\u201d to supporters traveling to Guadalajara. H\u00e9ctor Flories isn\u2019t convinced. We speak in his Guadalajara home, as the smell of gas wafts in from a nearby restaurant. \u201cWe want them to come,\u201d H\u00e9ctor says of World Cup visitors, a picture of his son\u2019s smiling face emblazoned on his t-shirt. \u201cBut [the government] can\u2019t even have security for their own people, let alone people coming from other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

In theory, Guadalajara has plenty going for it. A booming tech industry has earned it the title of the \u201cSilicon Valley of Mexico\u201d. Intel and Bosch are just two global firms to have a presence here, drawn to the steady flow of computer science graduates from the city\u2019s several universities. In truth, though, it\u2019s tequila, not tech, that puts the city on the map. The eponymous town of Tequila, just an hour from the state capital, is the cradle of an industry that produces up to 500 million liters of booze each year. It all comes from the rows and rows of blue agave plants that thrive in Jalisco\u2019s volcanic lowlands, with profits from the drink running into the hundreds of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n

Yet the party town has a sinister side. Across Guadalajara, extortion is a major problem. For obvious reasons, no hard figures exist, but national surveys suggest there are hundreds of thousands of extortion attempts against Mexican businesses each year. Guadalajara is no exception. From tortiller\u00edas to car washes, \u201ccobro de piso<\/em>\u201d (\u201cfloor charge\u201d) is just another cost of doing business. Pity anyone who doesn\u2019t \u2014 or can\u2019t \u2014 pay up. There are roughly 1,500 murders a year in the Guadalajara metropolitan area, with many down to cartel brutality.<\/p>\n

As if that weren\u2019t bad enough, CJNG also raises money through kidnapping, forcing their victims to act as lookouts, move drugs \u2014 or worse. According to one former prisoner, who later spoke to H\u00e9ctor Flores, the criminals sometimes make their victims carry out sicario<\/em> hits. Daniel is far from alone here, with 16,000 people officially \u201cdisappeared\u201d across Jalisco\u2019s canyons and agave groves.<\/p>\n

When I visit Guadalajara, there are signs of resistance. The city\u2019s Monument to Boy Heroes, built in 1950 to commemorate a 19th-century battle against the United States, has been rechristened the \u201cRoundabout of the Disappeared\u201d ahead of the World Cup \u2014 and is covered by posters of the missing. One features the face of Jonathan Emmanuel Serratos Virgen, who was just 31 when he was abducted. A caption below the poster pleads: \u201cHave you seen him? Help us find him.\u201d<\/p>\n

H\u00e9ctor Flores tells me he\u2019s co-founded a group called Luz de Esperanza<\/em> (\u201cLight of Hope\u201d), which campaigns for the disappeared. Printing out flyers and posting on social media, the activists also lobby the state to invest more money in identifying corpses, increasingly found in mass graves across the city.<\/p>\n

The grim irony is that this toll has risen with development. As the authorities have plowed money into preparing Mexico\u2019s Silicon Valley for the World Cup \u2014 widening roads and building new apartment blocks \u2014 contractors have chanced upon a bloody harvest. According to activists, some 22 graves have in recent years been found around the Akron Stadium alone. One of the most horrifying examples emerged in February last year, when construction workers turned up 260 bodies at a place called Las Agujas, on the outskirts of Guadalajara, with many mere body parts.<\/p>\n

A year on from the discovery, I decide to visit Las Agujas myself. I\u2019m accompanied by Maria Luisa Estrada Hern\u00e1ndez, a crime journalist who reports on the cartel, as well as a colleague from the UK. H\u00e9ctor Flores had warned us that the cartel shooed away other journalists who\u2019d tried their luck here \u2014 and Hern\u00e1ndez had other reasons to be nervous. In July 2023 she\u2019d survived an assassination attempt, after a gunman on a motorbike opened fire on her car when she was traveling with her daughter. He missed \u2014 but according to official statistics at least 141 journalists and media workers have been killed in Mexico since 2000, and, according to a 2024 Amnesty report, at least 61 of those deaths were clearly related to their work.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s early on a Saturday when we drive up a dirt track towards the area of Las Agujas where the mass grave was found. We park our car beside a neat lawn, water sprinklers stuttering. It\u2019s only 10am, but the air is dry and dusty, the sun already biting. High walls block the view into the killing site. We approach a security hut and ring a bell, hoping to gain access. A wiry security guard in his sixties emerges from behind a booth, the gate beside him firmly shut. He gruffly tells us he has no authority to let us pass, directing us to contact the landowners instead. To our right, a hooded man with long hair saunters back and forth, glancing in our direction. Another hooded man races by on a motorbike.<\/p>\n

We ignore them, and instead keep walking, hoping to peek at the mass-grave site beyond the wall. Suddenly, a man speeds towards us in a dark blue pickup truck, the window on the driver\u2019s side down. He pulls up on our left, his tires spinning in the dirt. \u201cGuys, you can\u2019t be here on this property, you gotta go,\u201d he says in perfect American English, another hint of the cartel\u2019s reach north of the Rio Grande. He\u2019s in his late forties, thin, bearded, and wearing a black baseball cap. \u201cWe\u2019re journalists,\u201d we insist, as if that phrase means anything to him. \u201cI know,\u201d he replies in a menacing voice, \u201cbut you gotta get outta here now.\u201d We pile into our car and Hern\u00e1ndez takes the wheel and races back down the dirt road towards the highway. A red pickup truck follows and matches our speed. Estrada takes a sharp right; the red truck follows. She pulls off to a clearing on our left, then does a sharp u-turn as we race back towards Guadalajara.<\/p>\n

That only leaves one more place to visit: the Akron Stadium itself. It rises, a low white oval, from a grassy mound on the edge of the city, more spaceship than sports venue. As we drive round the perimeter, the security presence is heavy. Army pick-up trucks stand guard, with officers in the back manning .50-caliber machine guns. The Special Forces and National Guards have their own contingent of trucks \u2014 I easily tot up more than 100 trucks in total. Football\u2019s governing body seems pretty positive too. \u201cFIFA is confident that the efforts being made by the governments of Canada, Mexico and the United States will ensure a safe, secure, and welcoming environment for everyone involved,\u201d the organization tells UnHerd<\/em>, noting that Mexico and the other host nations safely welcome thousands of visitors every day. As for the cartels themselves, they have been quieter in recent weeks, apparently warning their members not to bother visiting fans.<\/p>\n

Whether that\u2019s enough to protect the throngs of tourists now descending on Jalisco remains to be seen. The US State Department has advised its citizens to \u201creconsider\u201d traveling to the state, while violence in Guadalajara continues unabated. Just this week, armed men on a motorbike chased down a man not far from the city center \u2014 before shooting him in the head. For his part, H\u00e9ctor Flores is skeptical whether a show of force really makes Guadalajara safer, not least when so many officials are on the CJNG payroll. Remarkably, he says, that includes the same men who kidnapped his son, with members of Jalisco\u2019s state prosecutor\u2019s office caught on camera that fateful day in 2021. Local police still haven\u2019t acted, even though, in June 2025, a tribunal confirmed that officials were indeed involved in Daniel\u2019s disappearance. \u201cIn Mexico,\u201d H\u00e9ctor laments, \u201cyou don\u2019t know when organized crime starts and the prosecutor\u2019s office begins.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the Sheinbaum administration has struck some blows against the cartel\u2019s leadership, few here believe that much will change. In fact, things could soon become even worse. If a leadership fight erupts for El Mencho\u2019s crown, it could spark an all-out war, a bloodbath \u2014 and a disaster for Mexico during the World Cup. It hardly helps, here, that the flow of weapons from the US continues unabated. Cartel men boast heavy guns of the sort wielded by troops at the Akron, with government forces sometimes overwhelmed by superior firepower. Bullet casings from these weapons have been traced back to the US: one factory, the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Missouri, is even owned by the government. Once such bullets enter the open market, they soon end up in the hands of criminals, a neat way to spend all their American drug money.<\/p>\n

Aware, perhaps, of the oddly symbiotic relationship between his country and Mexican gangs, the Trump administration has kept up the pressure on Sheinbaum. Last month, for instance, the head of the US Drug Enforcement Agency claimed that Mexican officials have been \u201cin bed for years\u201d with drug traffickers. Perhaps that\u2019s fair enough. Yet political point-scoring does nothing to help H\u00e9ctor Flores, let alone his vanished son.<\/p>\n
