Officer Nahomi Martínez Killed in El Mencho Operation Sparks Mourning in Zacatecas

A Mexican National Guard officer, Nahomi Martínez from Zacatecas, was killed Feb. 22, 2026, during an operation in Jalisco against a CJNG cell linked to Nemesio Oseguera, “El Mencho,” which authorities say also led to the cartel leader’s arrest after an ambush. Tributes poured in from Martínez’s home state—highlighting her dedication and ties to the Autonomous University of Zacatecas and local basketball clubs—while Mexico’s defense secretary lauded the fallen personnel and lawmakers defended the nation’s service. Martinez was remembered by family and officials as a young officer who died defending the country.

El Mencho's Death Triggers Nationwide Cartel Attacks Across Mexico

Mexican special forces killed Nemesio 'El Mencho' Oseguera Cervantes, leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, in a raid that tracked his hideout; the operation provoked widespread retaliation with cartel gunmen torching cars and blocking roads across about 20 states, killing 25 National Guard members and 34 criminal suspects, plus a prison guard, an agent from the prosecutor’s office and one civilian. The violence prompted school closures and travel disruptions; officials tout the operation as demonstrating state power, but analysts warn the turmoil may persist as cartels vie for control.

DOJ seeks death penalty for alleged White House-area National Guard shooter

The Justice Department plans to seek the death penalty for Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the man accused of shooting two National Guard members near the White House in November, killing one and wounding the other. Lakanwal pleaded not guilty to nine charges, including first-degree murder, as prosecutors indicated they will pursue death-eligible charges. Court records say he traveled from Washington state to D.C., ambushed the guards with a stolen pistol, and was detained after being shot by another guard member; Beckstrom died, Wolfe remains in recovery. Investigators noted Lakanwal’s past CIA work in Afghanistan, his Uber/Lyft driving, his purchase of bullets the day of the attack, and his search for the White House address. His next hearing is set for early May.

Domestic Deployments Cost US Nearly $500M in 2025, CBO Finds

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the Trump administration’s deployment of National Guard and active-duty troops to multiple U.S. cities in 2025 cost about $496 million through December, with ongoing costs around $93 million per month if levels stay the same; the Los Angeles deployment largely ended but 100 guards remained, and the D.C. deployment could run about $55 million per month at roughly 2,950 personnel, while future costs remain highly uncertain due to legal challenges and scale.

Winter storm triggers nationwide disruption as states declare emergencies

A massive U.S. winter storm is causing widespread travel chaos, with more than 10,000 flights canceled across the weekend and tens of thousands more delayed; at least 17 states and Washington, D.C. have declared states of emergency and some National Guards have been activated as heavy snow, sleet, freezing rain and dangerous wind chills threaten about 200 million people. Widespread power outages are a concern, and authorities urge people to stay off the roads as airlines offer waivers and federal offices anticipate closures; the storm is expected to continue into Monday and bring frigid temperatures afterward.
