Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, the Mexican drug lord commonly known as “El Mencho” and leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), has been killed in a military operation in Mexico.
The CJNG has become a large-scale criminal enterprise that rivals other major gangs such as the Sinaloa cartel. According to a report by Reuters, the Mexican government has been ramping up pressure on cartels after threats made by the Trump administration that the US could intervene to address cartel violence.
