The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) faces betrayal from its former allies Los Viagras in Michoacán following the killing of its leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, 'El Mencho', on February 22. This split has escalated territorial disputes in Uruapan and other key areas. Meanwhile, Mexican authorities investigate potential new CJNG leaders and report major drug seizures.

President Claudia Sheinbaum said she maintains direct contact via messages with Uruapan mayor Grecia Quiroz and attends to her requests for support immediately.

Uruapan mayor Grecia Quiroz challenged Michoacán Congress president Baltazar Gaona to resign for investigation. She offered to do the same.

A Michoacán criminal judge ordered the conditional release on Monday, March 23, of 11 Ecuandureo municipal police officers arrested for allegedly facilitating Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) narco-blockades after Nemesio Oseguera's, ‘El Mencho’s’, death. The officers face precautionary measures for six months as their legal process continues.
