US EditionMexican Army Kills 'El Mencho,' Leader of Jalisco Cartel
- On Sunday, the Mexican army killed Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, 'El Mencho', during a Tapalpa operation where he was wounded and died en route to Mexico City.
- U.S. authorities had indicted Oseguera multiple times and offered a $15 million reward, with pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump helping prompt the raid, according to sources.
- Troops reported coming under heavy fire during the operation, with Mexican troops killing four people, arresting two cartel suspects, seizing armored vehicles and rocket launchers, and three members of the armed forces wounded.
- U.S. State Department and Global Affairs Canada issued shelter-in-place and travel advisories, while airlines suspended flights amid roadblocks and violence in Jalisco on Sunday.
- The operation effectively decapitated the Jalisco Cartel, a rival to the Sinaloa Cartel, while unrest threatens tourism in Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara ahead of this summer's World Cup matches.
