The cartel is commanded by José Antonio Yépez Ortiz aka "El Marro" (The Sledgehammer) and has a close circle made up of 14 people including their families. Its financial operators are presumed to be the uncles of "El Marro", with Santiago "G" aka "Bachicha" the main operator. The authorities also identify Juan Manuel "A", Artemio "E" aka "El Temo", Eusebio "G" aka "El Titis", José Alejandro "J" among others.Their primary source of funding is acquired from oil theft. Recently, the group has been fighting hard in a turf war against the Jalisco Nueva Generacion Cartel to maintain a strong presence in Guanajuato, after losing control Querétaro and Hidalgo.VideoVideo: 20 and 21 June 2020 - "El Marro" of the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel calling out for residents to rise up.

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions.
