On February 22, 2026, Mexican authorities announced the death of Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, widely known as “El Mencho,” the founder and leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of Mexico’s most powerful and violent drug trafficking organizations. El Mencho was killed during a military operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco, where he was wounded in a confrontation and later died en route to Mexico City. This operation, described as a joint effort involving Mexican and U.S. intelligence, marks a significant blow to the CJNG, which has been involved in drug trafficking, extortion, fuel theft, and other criminal activities across Mexico and beyond.
