Following the death of Nemesio Oseguera, also known as ‘El Mencho’, the leadership of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) is in question, as family members are facing legal issues. Notably, Oseguera’s son, Rubén, referred to as ‘El Menchito’, is in prison, and his wife, Rosalinda Valencia, known as ‘La Jefa’, is also detained. This leaves his daughters, Laisha and Jessica Oseguera, as the last remaining family members not facing arrest, creating intrigue around their potential future roles in the cartel leadership.

Nemesio Oseguera had a modest beginning as an avocado field caretaker before moving into drug trafficking, aligning with the Valencia family, who founded the Millenio Cartel and later Los Cuinis. His connection to his wife, Rosalinda, who is the niece of the notorious Armando Valencia, roots the family deep in Michoacán's cartel culture. The dynamics of familial ties in this criminal landscape suggest that leadership might not solely revert to his immediate family, considering the current circumstances surrounding their arrests.

Laisha and Jessica Oseguera, while lesser-known compared to their brother, may find themselves in positions that could shape the cartel's future. This situation raises questions about the broader implications for power dynamics within the CJNG, as external pressures and internal family conflicts could dictate the next chapter for one of Mexico's most powerful drug trafficking organizations.
