The recent death of Nemesio Oseguera, known as 'El Mencho', who led the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), has led to significant violence in Jalisco and surrounding states, prompting banks and schools to shut down operations. On February 22, law enforcement's actions led to violent repercussions, causing many inhabitants to fear for their safety.

As a preventive measure, educational authorities in the affected areas, including Jalisco, announced the suspension of face-to-face classes to protect students. Similarly, major banks like Santander and BBVA México have confirmed the closing of their branches in several regions impacted by the violence, namely Jalisco, Colima, Guanajuato, Michoacán, and Nayarit.

This heightened security situation reflects ongoing struggles against organized crime in Mexico, highlighting the potential long-term impacts on public safety, the economy, and everyday life for residents in these regions as they navigate the threats posed by drug cartels and ensuing fallout from such leadership changes.
