Mexican Cartel Leader Killed In Military Raid
2 weeks ago
Mexico’s army says it has killed Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, better known as “El Mencho,” the alleged leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
Troops targeted Oseguera during a military operation in the western state of Jalisco, triggering hours of violence across the region. Authorities reported roadblocks, burning vehicles and clashes as cartel members attempted to disrupt security forces.
The U.S. Department of State had offered a $15 million reward for information leading to his arrest. In February, the administration of President Donald Trump designated the cartel a foreign terrorist organization, intensifying pressure on the group.
Officials say security operations remain ongoing as authorities work to stabilize the area.
