The leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias 'El Mencho', was killed on February 22, 2026, in Tapalpa, Jalisco, by Mexican forces with U.S. intelligence support, triggering a surge of violence across at least 20 states. The cartel's response included 85 road blockades, vehicle burnings, and attacks that killed 25 National Guard members, 30 CJNG affiliates, and other civilians. Mexican and U.S. authorities warn of repercussions, as airport operations resume and events like the 2026 World Cup are assessed.
