Topic: El Mencho

Mexican drug lord "El Mencho" reportedly died following a Special Forces raid near Guadalajara. While President Claudia Sheinbaum denied direct U.S. involvement, she acknowledged the use of American intelligence. The takedown occurs amid heavy pressure from the Trump administration to designate cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

The DEA has placed a $10 million bounty on Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). El Mencho is blamed for a significant portion of the narcotics entering the US and reportedly has entire Mexican police departments on his payroll.
