### Primary Article: CJNG Operator ‘El Chaparrito’ Arrested in Jalisco
In a significant development, authorities detained Aldrin Miguel Jarquin, also known as “El Chaparrito,” in Jalisco on Sunday, August 18, 2024. Jarquin had been on the run since 2023 after being released from custody in 2022. He was previously apprehended for his role as a key figure within the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), particularly for his operations in Colima.
The arrest was part of a coordinated operation by the Secretariat of National Defense, which also resulted in the apprehension of two other individuals during simultaneous raids. Local media have highlighted Jarquin’s importance due to his control over areas in Quintana Roo, Colima, Yucatán, and Jalisco. Furthermore, he is known for his drug trafficking connections between Colombia, the United States, and the strategic port of Manzanillo.
In 2022, Jarquin was initially detained by the Mexican Navy in Colima. However, he was later released by a judge to live his trial without restrictions. Jarquin is closely associated with Nemesio Oseguera, the CJNG leader, as he is reportedly Oseguera’s son-in-law.

**Broader Implications for CJNG’s Network**
The capture of Jarquin signals a significant blow to the CJNG’s operational capabilities.
