José 'N', alias 'El Pepe', was apprehended in a military operation in Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, a municipality near Guadalajara, Mexico. He is known for his role as a logistical operator within the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of the most powerful drug trafficking organizations in Mexico. His capture was carried out by Special Forces of the Mexican Army and the National Guard during land patrols in the area, highlighting ongoing efforts by Mexican authorities to dismantle the CJNG's operations.

According to military reports, 'El Pepe' was responsible for transporting Guadalupe Moreno, who is believed to be one of the romantic partners of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho', the leader of CJNG. The document states that 'El Mencho' was killed in Tapalpa on February 22 while being transported for medical care. This adds complexity to the CJNG's hierarchy and raises questions regarding the future stability of the cartel following the death of its prominent leader.

The arrest signifies a significant blow to the CJNG as authorities regard José 'N' as a trusted figure within the cartel. During his capture, drugs and firearms were confiscated, indicating the violent and heavily armed nature of the cartel's operations in Mexico. The ongoing military actions against such criminal organizations signify a heightened effort by the Mexican government to combat organized crime and restore order amid the pervasive violence related to drug trafficking in the region.
