Recently, in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, a group calling themselves the Civil Army of the Indigenous People of Panthelo began sending videos and statements claiming to be taking up arms. They group claims it formed to defend residents against another paramilitary group calling themselves Los Machetes.
The group known as Los Machetes first made headlines in 2021 when they began carrying out a series of attacks on cells connected to the Sinaloa Cartel and to local politicians. According to news articles from the time, Los Machetes carried out ambush-style attacks, used explosives, and displayed advanced tactical training.
Investigations by Breitbart Texas have revealed that Los Machetes is connected with Cartel Jalisco New Generation. It remains unclear if any drug cartel is behind the new group that surfaced in Chiapas.
