Federal authorities captured Audias Flores Silva, alias ‘El Jardinero’, one of several contenders to succeed Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, ‘El Mencho’, leader of the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) killed on February 22, 2026, in Tapalpa, Jalisco. The April 27 arrest in El Mirador, Santa María del Oro, Nayarit, followed 19 months of tracking and involved no shots. Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch confirmed ‘El Jardinero’ was among three or four leaders vying for CJNG control; the U.S. had offered a $5 million reward.
Benjamín Robles Montoya of Mexico's Partido del Trabajo (PT) demanded that the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) investigate Oaxaca Governor Salomón Jara for alleged ties to the Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) and its leader 'El Mencho'. He claimed Jara's brother, Noé Jara Cruz, handled campaign payments from the cartel. The PT urged President Claudia Sheinbaum not to defend the governor.

The Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco collective announced the discovery of numerous human remains in a septic tank at Rancho Izaguirre in Teuchitlán. The amount exceeds that found last year, with bone evidence at 80 centimeters depth. So far, 95 to 98 unique DNA samples have been identified.
Omar García Harfuch, Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, clarified that the heavy security deployment—including National Guard and state forces—at the March 2 funeral of CJNG leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, 'El Mencho,' in Zapopan, Jalisco, was to safeguard citizens after prior disturbances, not to escort the remains. Authorities also uncovered evidence of cartel payments to local police.
