Guadalajara inches toward normalcy after cartel-linked chaos
Guadalajara is slowly returning to normal after a violent Sunday sparked by the capture and death of cartel boss Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes. By Monday morning, four light-rail lines were back and most buses were operating, but authorities were still removing blockades and schools remained closed as residents sheltered in place. The Guadalajara airport faced flight cancellations and delays on Sunday with ripple effects into Monday; major markets shuttered and many shops remained closed. Overall, transit was gradually resuming in a cautious, uneven fashion while the city slowly reactivates.
