On February 22, the Mexican Defense Ministry announced an operation to capture Ruben Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, aka El Mencho, the leader of the largest cartel, the Jalisco New Generation, who died from injuries sustained while being transported to Mexico City. This was followed by car fires, roadblocks, and attacks on security forces in dozens of cities and municipalities. The head of state reported that the Secretariat of National Defense had briefed her on the operation carried out this morning by the Mexican Army and National Guard. According to Sheinbaum, the Security Cabinet is constantly updating the public on the evolving situation, and in most of the country, normal life continues.
