Ruben “Nemesio” Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), was killed in a Mexican military operation. Under his command, CJNG became a dominant force in drug trafficking, notably in fentanyl and methamphetamine, following El Chapo’s downfall. His death is seen as a significant victory against organized crime, potentially shifting power dynamics among rival cartels. The U.S. State Department issued travel alerts for several regions in Mexico due to heightened security concerns.
