Following the death of notorious drug lord Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho', Mexican authorities have reported a staggering increase in violence, with over 70 fatalities across 20 states, including 25 members of the National Guard. His death, which occurred during a military operation in Jalisco, has led to widespread chaos, including road blockades and airport disruptions, particularly affecting travel from Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta. The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) has retaliated violently, prompting the deployment of 10,000 troops by President Claudia Sheinbaum, who insists there is 'no risk' for visitors attending the upcoming World Cup despite the unrest. The U.S. has also pledged to respond harshly if cartels target American citizens, highlighting the serious implications of El Mencho's demise, which was executed with U.S. intelligence support, although officials emphasize that the operation was primarily a Mexican military initiative.
