Mexican officials described cooperation as “very well,” while the violence that followed left at least 25 National Guard members dead, underscoring the high-stakes fallout from the operation.

El Mencho’s Fall Reshapes the U.S.-Mexico Security Pact

Mexico killed Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, aka El Mencho, the head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, in a raid aided by U.S. intelligence—an operation that signals a shift toward a tougher security posture under President Sheinbaum and highlights Washington’s growing role in Mexico’s drug-war efforts. The move reflects the pressure from Trump’s threats of intervention, even as analysts warn the violence may intensify and raise questions about the state’s capacity to manage the fallout and sovereignty.

The United States had offered up to $15 million for information, but Mexican officials say there was no direct U.S. ground involvement in the operation.

Mexico Rejects U.S. Military Plan Against Latin American Drug Cartels

Mexico has firmly rejected reports that the US, under President Trump, planned to use military force against Latin American drug cartels on Mexican soil, emphasizing its sovereignty and cooperation rather than invasion. The Mexican government clarified that no military participation was involved and dismissed any plans for invasion, despite reports of a secret directive signed by Trump to target cartels, which Mexico sees as a threat to its sovereignty. The US has designated several Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations, aiming to combat their influence, but Mexico remains committed to collaboration without military intervention.
