Mexican Security Secretary Omar Garcia Harfuch said that troops guarded the funeral of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho" and longtime leader of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion, to protect civilians.
Speaking during President Claudia Sheinbaum's daily press conference, Harfuch said the operation "was conducted precisely to protect civilians," considering there were "disturbances, blockades and even vehicles set on fire" after the operation that killed the drug lord.
