Mexico's Jalisco New Generation Cartel has issued a CJNG ultimatum, threatening to storm homes and hotels in a revenge rampage if its demands are not met, following the death of leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as El Mencho. The 59-year-old drug lord died after a military raid in Tapalpa, Jalisco, on Sunday, sparking clashes that left four cartel members dead.
Violence has erupted across multiple states, with blockades and arson attacks disrupting daily life. As of 23 February 2026, security forces have cleared most roads, but tensions remain high.
