Who was El Mencho? What drug lord’s
killing means for Mexico-US-backed operation that killed El Mencho
sparks a wave of violence across the country.Mexico's most powerful drug
boss ‘El Mencho’ killed, sparking cartel violence nationwide-By Sarah
Shamim-23 Feb 2026
In a military raid supported by the United
States, Mexican forces have located and killed one of the country’s most
wanted drug lords, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as “El
Mencho”.We break down who El Mencho was, how he was killed and what his
death means for the US and Mexico.Who was El Mencho?He was the leader of
the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, which operates from the western
state of Jalisco and is known for its large military-style arsenal.Aged
59 when he was killed, El Mencho was from the neighbouring state of
Michoacan. It is rumoured that he was a police officer before he became a
drug lord.He rose in the ranks of Mexico’s drug-trafficking underworld
in the 1990s. In 1994, he was convicted in the US of heroin trafficking
and served nearly three years in prison before returning to Mexico.There
are plenty of stories about El Mencho’s methods of dealing with
adversaries.He once sent a severed pig’s head in an ice chest to a
Mexican attorney as a threat, Rolling Stone magazine reported in 2015,
quoting an unnamed former field agent with the US Drug Enforcement
Administration.A recording of a call captured him threatening a local
police commander with the call sign “Delta One”, promising to kill him
“and even your dogs” if his officers didn’t back off, then ending with a
nonchalant “Sorry for the bad language.”As El Mencho rose to become a
powerful drug dealer, he began to heavily invest in submarines, which he
used to transport drugs from South America to the US, Rolling Stone
reported. The magazine quoted the former DEA agent as saying El Mencho
hired Russian naval engineers to help design the submarines.He became
one of Washington’s most wanted fugitives, and the US had offered a $15m
reward for information leading to his arrest.What is known about the
Jalisco New Generation Cartel? El Mencho founded the cartel in about
2009 and rapidly expanded it, using online recruitment and diversifying
its income streams through fuel theft, extortion, timeshare scams and
other rackets.The US has identified the Jalisco cartel along with the
Sinaloa Cartel as the organisations primarily responsible for
trafficking fentanyl into the US in recent years. The DEA considers the
Jalisco cartel to be as powerful as Sinaloa with a presence in all 50 US
states. The DEA said it is active in 21 of Mexico’s 32 states.The
Jalisco cartel has become notorious for its assaults on Mexican security
forces. In 2015, it shot down a military helicopter in Jalisco.In 2020,
it tried to assassinate then-Mexico City Police Chief Omar Garcia
Harfuch, who now serves as the federal security secretary.In February
last year, Mexico handed over senior Jalisco cartel leader Antonio
Oseguera Cervantes, El Mencho’s brother, to the US. This came days after
the US designated eight Latin American criminal and drug-trafficking
groups as “global terrorist organisations”, including the Jalisco
cartel.How did El Mencho die? El Mencho was killed by Mexican special
forces during a military operation to capture him in Talpalpa in the
southern part of Jalisco on Sunday.Troops were sent in to arrest El
Mencho, and his followers tried to fight them off. Authorities said he
was killed during the operation.What do we know about the operation?
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on X on Sunday that the
Secretariat of National Defence reported the operation had been carried
out by federal forces.“My recognition to the Mexican Army, National
Guard, Armed Forces, and Security Cabinet,” Sheinbaum wrote.White House
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on X that the US had provided
intelligence to the Mexican government to assist with the operation.“In
this operation, three additional cartel members were killed, three were
wounded, and two were arrested,” Leavitt posted. Authorities have not
confirmed their identities.How significant is the US
involvement?Benjamin Smith, a professor of Latin American history at the
University of Warwick in the United Kingdom, told Al Jazeera that the
most recent captures of Mexican drug bosses have been backed by the US.
“This is not new,” he said.Vanessa Rubio-Marquez, associate dean for
extended education for the School of Public Policy at the London School
of Economics, said the US involvement in the operation “speaks about the
need to have permanent and effective dialogue and cooperation between
both countries”.“As a transnational activity that includes import of
precursors, production, trafficking, consumption, money laundering, flow
of arms, extortion and corruption from both sides of the border, both
countries need to work together to combat these organisations and their
unlawful activities and being able to protect citizens,” said
Rubio-Marquez, who has represented Mexico in various international fora,
including the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund.What
has happened since El Mencho’s killing? Violence erupted on Sunday in at
least 20 Mexican states, including Jalisco, Colima, Michoacan, Nayarit,
Guanajuato and Tamaulipas.Officials in Jalisco, Michoacan and
Guanajuato reported that at least 14 people were killed in Sunday’s
violence, including seven members of the national guard.Jalisco’s
capital, Guadalajara, which is to host several matches in this year’s
FIFA World Cup, was largely shut down on Sunday night as residents
sheltered indoors. Four high-level football matches planned for Sunday
were postponed.Videos on social media showed passengers running in panic
through Guadalajara’s airport and smoke rising over the resort city of
Puerto Vallarta. Governor Pablo Lemus urged people to stay home and
suspended public transport while schools were closed on Monday in
several states.The US embassy in Mexico issued a security alert for US
citizens in Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacan, Guerrero and Nuevo Leon,
advising them to stay indoors.How have Mexicans reacted? Analysts said
the Mexican public is mostly supportive of the government’s actions to
rein in the cartels.The government reported in December that the average
number of killings per day in Mexico had dropped by 37 percent since
Sheinbaum took office in October 2024“She’s extremely popular,” Smith
said. “And Mencho was broadly loathed.”Sheinbaum had an approval rating
of about 70 percent as of late January, according to the Americas
Society and Council of the Americas, New York-based organisations
focused on promoting cultural and political understanding and business
ties in the Americas. The rating has been consistent since Sheinbaum was
elected.“It was widely known – and criticised – that President Claudia
Sheinbaum’s predecessor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador followed a policy of
‘hugs not bullets’,” Rubio-Marquez said.“This is a clear U-turn to this
former policy by a Morena [Lopez Obrador and Sheinbaum’s party]
government and an implicit recognition that crime has to be confronted
with decision and a sophisticated strategy that includes information,
intelligence and cooperation with the US and coordination and training
with actors at the different levels of government.”What might happen
next?The operation that killed El Mencho could benefit Mexico in its
negotiations with US President Donald Trump’s administration, which has
threatened to impose tariffs or even resort to military action if Mexico
does not clamp down on drug cartels.However, experts said the operation
could spark a new wave of violence in Mexico because cartels may
retaliate against security forces. Smith said the operation could result
in “more public murders”.“For the last year, the Mexican state has
managed to bring down homicides. I suspect this killing will reverse
that trend,” he said.It is unclear what the future holds for the Jalisco
New Generation Cartel because El Mencho’s death has left a power vacuum
and it is unknown who will succeed him.“The fight against criminal
actors is not only about getting rid of leaders and bringing them to
justice,” Rubio-Marquez said. “It implies a complex strategy that
includes prevention, the combat of powerful arms used by cartels, the
disarticulation of their multi-layered networks, security and protection
for citizens, and effective policies towards social inclusion and
social cohesion, economic development.
Cartel henchmen unleash
violence after top drug lord killed in Mexico-4 hours ago-Vanessa
Buschschlüterand-Ottilie Mitchell-FEB 23,26
Members of the
Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of the most powerful and
feared criminal organisations in Mexico, have unleashed a wave of
violence across 20 Mexican states.They torched businesses and erected
burning blockades in retaliation to the killing of their leader, Nemesio
Oseguera Cervantes, better known as "El Mencho", who died in custody on
Sunday shortly after being captured by Mexican special forces.El
Mencho, Mexico's most wanted man, was seriously injured in a firefight
between his bodyguards and the military commandos deployed to capture
him.He died while the military was transporting him from the town of
Tapalpa, in Jalisco state, to the capital, Mexico City.At least six of
El Mencho's security guards were also killed in the operation, while
three members of the Mexican military were injured, the defence ministry
said.As news of El Mencho's death spread, members of his cartel
launched attacks in many towns and cities where the CJGN is active.In
some towns, they blocked roads by throwing spikes and nails on to the
tarmac - in others, they commandeered buses and other vehicles they then
torched in the middle of the road.Cartel members also set alight dozens
of banks and local businesses such as pharmacies.Footage recorded by
locals showed plumes of smoke rising above several towns and cities,
including the beach resort of Puerto Vallarta, which is popular with
tourists.In Guadalajara - one of the host cities of the forthcoming Fifa
World Cup - travellers at the airport could be seen running and
crouching on the floor in panic.News site Milenio reported that the
panic spread when a group came running into the airport to seek shelter
after they had heard gunshots ring out from the nearby highway.Their
reporter said that he had seen a burnt-out car on the highway but that
rumours that shots had been fired inside the terminal had been dismissed
by the authorities.In many towns, streets were deserted as local
authorities told residents to seek shelter in their homes.The scenes
that unfolded on Sunday reminded many of the violence that erupted in
the state of Sinaloa after the capture of another notorious drug lord -
Ovidio Guzmán López - in 2019.The street battles between members of his
Sinaloa cartel and the security forces were so fierce that the Mexican
authorities decided to free Guzmán López, who is the son of jailed drug
kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, to prevent further bloodshed.While
Guzmán López was re-arrested in 2023 and extradited to the US, where he
has pleaded guilty to drug-trafficking charges, retaliatory attacks by
cartels have since become the norm following high-profile arrests.In
Puerto Vallarta, on Mexico's Pacific coast, tourists were told to
shelter in place on Sunday.Videos showed black smoke billowing from
burning cars in several neighbourhoods, with one tourist describing the
scene as looking "like a war zone".Around 300 visitors were stuck at the
Puerto Vallarta's airport after flights were cancelled due to the
violence.To ensure their safety, they were transferred to the city
centre in a convoy with a heavy police escort.The UK Foreign Office
asked visitors to the town to "exercise extreme caution" and follow
local authorities' advice, including orders to stay indoors.Sara
Morales, who is on holiday in Puerto Vallarta with her children, said
that they had been asked to leave Las Glorias beach."I was very afraid
because I didn't know what was happening," she told Mexican newspaper El
Economista.The US state department has urged its nationals to shelter
in place until further notice in the states of Jalisco, Baja California,
Quintana Roo and areas of Guanajuato, Guerrero, Michoacán, Oaxaca,
Nuevo León and Tamaulipas.The governor of Jalisco, where Puerto Vallarta
is located, declared a "code red", halting all public transport and
cancelling mass events and in-person classes.El Universal newspaper said
that more than 250 incidents of roads being blocked had been reported
across the affected Mexican states.Security officials say that 90% of
the blockades have been lifted but tension remains high, especially in
the CJGN's stronghold of Jalisco.They added that 25 people had been
arrested, 11 for their alleged participation in violent acts and 14 more
for alleged looting and pillaging.Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum
urged people to stay "calm and informed". She added that "in most parts
of the country, activities are proceeding normally".She praised Mexico's
security forces for the operation in which "El Mencho" was captured.The
Mexican president has come under pressure from the Trump administration
to do more to combat the powerful transnational drug trafficking groups
which are based in her country.US Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said
late on Sunday night that El Mencho was a "top target for the Mexican
and United States government as one of the top traffickers of fentanyl
into our homeland".The Mexican Ministry of Defence said that the raid
aimed at capturing El Mencho had been carried out by the Mexican army,
with support from the country's National Guard and Air Force.It added
that "complementary information" provided by the US had helped seize the
drug lord.The US State Department had offered a $15m (£11.1m) reward
for information leading to his capture.Mike Vigil, former chief of
international operations for the US Drug Enforcement Administration,
described the operation as "one of the most significant actions
undertaken in the history of drug trafficking" to CBS, the BBC's US news
partner.
'These areas protect residents from missiles, so must
be dry'-Rising Mediterranean pushes groundwater up into Tel Aviv
basements-Water Authority’s head of hydrology urges planners, developers
to prepare for a rarely discussed climate change threat to urban
infrastructure-By Sue Surkes-Today, 12:06 pm-FEB 23,26
The Water
Authority’s director of hydrology has called on planners and officials
involved in urban development to prepare for a little-talked-about
consequence of climate change that is already showing up in underground
parking lots: rising groundwater.Yakov Livshitz has documented
groundwater intrusion into parking lots in the Tel Aviv neighborhoods of
Bavli, Ramat Hahayal, and the old north district near Basel
Square.Rising temperatures, largely driven by human burning of fossil
fuels, are causing Earth’s ice to melt and sea levels to rise. In
Israel, where the Mediterranean Sea is closed in on nearly all sides,
that process is happening faster than the global average.The Israel
Oceanographic and Limnological Research Institute, which has been
monitoring sea levels since 1992, has registered an average increase of
4.6 millimeters (0.18 inches) per year, compared with a global annual
rise of 3.25 millimeters (0.13 inches).As sea levels rise and rain-fed
groundwater is depleted by pumping for human needs, seawater encroaches
further inland. Because seawater is heavier than freshwater, it slides
under the freshwater like a wedge, pushing the groundwater and the water
table upwards.In October 2024, the Water Authority published a report
by Livshitz on the impact of three sea-level rise scenarios on locations
at varying distances from the Mediterranean Sea along the coastal
plain. The scenarios, developed by the Environmental Protection
Ministry, were for sea level rises of 57 centimeters (22.4 inches), 80
centimeters (31.5 inches), and 91 centimeters (35.8 inches) by the year
2100.The research predicted a water table rise of 57 to 91 centimeters
(22.4 to 35.8 inches) in Netanya by 2100 at a distance of 0.125
kilometers (410 feet) from the shoreline, dropping to between 21 and 27
centimeters (8.3 to 10.6 inches) 14 kilometers (8.7 miles) further
inland.For the Tel Aviv and Ashdod areas, the figures were the same for
the area closest to the shoreline.But for locations 14 kilometers away,
they ranged from 23 to 32 centimeters (9 to 12.6 inches) in Tel Aviv and
from 17 to 23 centimeters (6.7 to 9 inches) in Ashdod.Livshitz wrote
that the rise in groundwater levels “could cause the flooding of urban
drainage systems and greatly worsen the frequency and intensity of urban
flooding in the future…”Unless properly planned for, it could damage
water supply and sewage systems, his report went on, lead to the
collapse of water treatment plants, harm essential underground
infrastructure such as electricity and communications systems, bring
groundwater into the basements of buildings that were built or designed
inappropriately, and even compromise structural stability.He called for
mapping potential hazards and creating a 3D map of the location of
essential infrastructure, a call that has yet to be answered.Speaking to
the Times of Israel, Livshitz said he had not yet seen evidence of
infrastructure damage caused by groundwater rising due to sea-level
rise.The examples of groundwater intrusion in subterranean parking lots
were due to poor construction, he went on. The buildings should have
been properly sealed.In buildings where groundwater intrusion was
discovered, residents should be charged for disposal of the water, he
explained. They could be exempt from payment only if they had special
permits to build pumps and to send the water back into the coastal
aquifer from which it came.“The issue isn’t as urgent as an Iranian
missile,” Livshitz said. “But it’s happening all the time, we have time
to prepare, and if we don’t, we’ll have problems.”Asked if the planning
authorities were ready, he said, “I’ve presented my report to the most
important forums of decision makers. Slowly, they are taking it into
account.”He went on, “We know there are other cases, but we are still
working on the best way of approaching this phenomenon. As these places
are deep underground and could serve to protect residents during missile
attacks, it’s especially important that they be dry.”Livshitz is
currently working around the clock with the builders of the Tel Aviv
metro. “They’re constantly asking us to tell them what the groundwater
levels will be in the future so they can build as they should,” he told
the Times of Israel.He added that at present, the intrusion of seawater
was having no significant effect on the freshwater pumped for drinking.
