A mainboard reader posted a comment the other day that read;
"El Americano's H3 and a fraction of the CT's just announced their pact/joint cartel, They'll be going by a new name and those that did not join because they are loyal to Nazario deserted the cartel"
At the time I could not locate further information , but today I received a link from a friend about a new group or new name. Hopefully readers that have knowledge can weigh in.

A short post in 1aplana was titled "
"Caballeros Templarios announce a pact with H3 Cartel"
The post reads;
In social media a message is circulating from a Facebook page called "Zello Michoacán Templar,"which announced a renaming of the criminal organization of the Caballeros Templarios and an alleged pact with the H3.
The message says; "We all are still under the control of 'El Profe' (Tuta) we continue to have San Nazario in our heart, that much is clear. The only thing that changed was the name, we are still at war because there are many infiltrators CJNG " (in Michoacan)
The post included the announcement but the copy is poor.
There are two names used on the facebook page here is the other
H3 Convoy in La Ruana
The above video was posted on social networks purportedly of a large convoy driving through La Ruana to intimidate Hipolito Mora. Mora and Simon Torres aka El Americano are bitter enemies, and Americano is not only a commander in the State Rurales Police but also leader of H3 cartel.
Text with video:
"This happened a few minutes ago in the town of La Ruana by the damned dogs of the Cartel H3 commanded by Simon El Americano, more proof for Alfredo Castillo Cervantes that he is colluded with the cartel H3, in a press release made it on an interview yesterday, Mr. Castillo said that any person who is not in uniform and carry weapons are breaking the law and would be arrested because they are not going to tolerate any person that were acting by his own and not by the law.
(Castillo made the statement in reaction to the news that autodefensas, are again, taking up arms, for protection.)
We are showing here the proof of the H3 under the command El Americano, they are armed.
Why doesn't Castillo arrest them? And demonstrate his authority as he said yesterday on the interview?
Only the good people and the legitimate self-defense is disarmed and they lock us in prison as they did with Hipolito Mora, with the Moral Leader of the self-defense Manuel Mireles Valverde and how they want to imprison our brother of Aguililla Jorge Vazquez, because he considers us a danger us a danger for the country or the nation.
One of the last units of the PFP that has El Americano at its service t are part of his payroll that give protection to Simon El Americano."
