The arrest of Diego Rivera Navarro, mayor of Tequila, Jalisco, for alleged ties to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) has sparked a political scandal highlighting organized crime infiltration in local Morena governments. This action, part of Operation Enjambre launched in November 2024, marks the sixth such detention of a Morena mayor in recent months. President Claudia Sheinbaum has denied systemic collusion, dismissing external critiques as 'science fiction,' as the party pledges stricter candidate vetting for future elections.

Governor of Mexico State, Delfina Gómez Álvarez, installed the permanent Peace Table and announced reinforced surveillance in border areas with Guerrero and Michoacán. This follows the death of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho'. Authorities have deployed federal, state, and municipal forces to ensure the safety of the 19 million residents.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum visited Jalisco on Friday to outline a detailed security strategy for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, building on prior assurances to FIFA after violence triggered by the army's killing of drug lord 'El Mencho' last month. The trip to Guadalajara—a host city—aims to restore confidence with less than 100 days until the tournament.

The Mexican army killed Nemesio Oseguera, alias El Mencho, leader of the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel, during an operation on February 22, 2026, in Tapalpa, Jalisco state. This action, backed by information exchanges with the United States, has triggered a wave of violence, killing at least 25 security personnel. Authorities are deploying additional troops to contain the unrest.
