The Northeast Cartel is a criminal organization based in the northeastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas. It was formed in the early 2010s as a splinter group of the Gulf Cartel, which had been the dominant criminal organization in the region for several decades.The Northeast Cartel is involved in a wide range of criminal activities, including drug trafficking, extortion, kidnapping, and smuggling of migrants. Its operations are focused mainly on the border region between Tamaulipas and Texas, where it controls key smuggling routes and engages in violent turf wars with rival criminal groups.

The organization is known for its brutal tactics, which include torture, beheadings, and mass killings. It has been responsible for numerous high-profile acts of violence, including the murder of 72 migrants in 2010 and the massacre of 43 students in 2014.Despite being a relatively new group, the Northeast Cartel has quickly become one of the most powerful criminal organizations in Mexico.

Its rapid rise is due in part to its ability to forge alliances with other criminal groups, as well as its control of key smuggling routes and its use of extreme violence to intimidate rivals and civilians alike.The Mexican government has launched several operations aimed at dismantling the Northeast Cartel, but the group has proven to be highly resilient and continues to operate with relative impunity in the region.
