In a significant operation, Mexican special forces killed Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as "El Mencho," the notorious leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). His death, however, has prompted a fierce response from cartel members who have initiated violent retaliatory measures across the region. These attacks have claimed the lives of 25 National Guard members in multiple incidents, highlighting the immediate and grave repercussions of this operation.

In the aftermath of Oseguera's death, law enforcement officials reported that cartel members engaged in violence such as blocking roads and setting vehicles on fire. Security personnel faced deliberate attacks, leading to widespread chaos within the region. The violence extended beyond just the National Guard, with additional casualties involving a prison guard, an agent from the state prosecutor's office, and an unidentified civilian, indicating the collateral damage of the ongoing drug war.

Oseguera's leadership marked a significant chapter in Mexico's ongoing battle against drug trafficking, as he oversaw a network that was heavily involved in the distribution of fentanyl and methamphetamines to the United States. The U.S. has been actively involved in supporting Mexican authorities in their fight against drug cartels, and the implications of this operation may further strain the already complex relationship between the two nations as they navigate the challenges posed by organized crime and drug trafficking.
