The Mexican National Defense Secretariat (Sedena) initiated a tactical operation aimed at capturing Nemesio Oseguera, also known as 'El Mencho', who heads the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). This operation was meticulously planned over the weekend, involving coordinated ground and aerial deployments. Special forces were positioned strategically in the surrounding areas of Jalisco to maintain secrecy and maximize the element of surprise against the notorious cartel leader.

During a press conference, General Ricardo Trevilla highlighted the importance of maintaining operational secrecy to gain the initiative and ensure a successful apprehension. The Sedena's strategy included not only land forces but also aerial support, with Texan-piloted aircraft operated by the Mexican Air Force aiding in the mission. This combined approach underscores the seriousness with which the Mexican government is addressing organized crime and its commitment to dismantling major criminal organizations like the CJNG.

The operation reflects ongoing efforts by the Mexican authorities to stabilize regions plagued by cartel violence and restore peace. By targeting high-profile figures within these criminal networks, such as 'El Mencho', the government aims to disrupt the operations of powerful cartels and send a strong message against drug trafficking and related violence in the country.
