Pueblos Unidos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pueblos Unidos is a Mexican criminal group active in the Michoacán region. It began in 2021 as a self-defense group defending the local avocado farmers from cartel gangs Los Viagras and Jalisco New Generation but soon degenerated into a criminal racketeering group itself.[1][2] It has been suggested that the group is tied to the gang La Resistencia.[2]
One of the group leaders was José Artemio Maldonado, known as “El Michoacano”, one of the biggest fuel thieves in Mexico, involved in the Tula prison break.[2][3]
