Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego reacted to the killing of Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," the longtime leader of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion, urging the Mexican government to "recognize that letting cartels grow unchecked is a threat to everyone."
"It's time they treat them as the threat they are," Gallego added in a social media publication. He was reacting to a video showing columns of smoke rising across Puerto Vallarta, in Jalisco, on Sunday. Local reports detailed that cartel operatives also set vehicles on fire in retaliation for the killing.
