Tamaulipas is not the entity with the most malicious homicides in the country, but a state where episodes of extreme violence have occurred.
The entity occupies the number 22 by concentrating 0.9% of the 8,770 murders that occurred in the country.
Due to its geographical location, Tamaulipas has been a land of constant dispute by members of the crime.
In the State, the operation of criminal groups such as the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel, the Northeast Cartel and the Gulf Cartel is identified.
In its 2025 report, the alert that also has the Sinaloa cartel, however, has a lower presence, unlike the CJNG and Northeast Cartel.
