Trump assists Mexico in reducing the power of narco-terrorists in major action against its leadership

I have a lot to post, but for the moment, we’ll just discuss Trump’s new move to fix the world.

The Mexican drug cartels are a geopolitical threat and have been for a long time. Obama and Holder’s plan to give them tons of guns with Fast and Furious did not seem to help the situation. At least not the situation of everyone else. It probably helped the Cartels a lot though.

So it looks like Trump managed to take a serious bite out of the cartels while everyone is looking at Iran.

The Bureau has a good write up here.

A dawn raid in the Jalisco highlands has eliminated the most wanted narco-terrorist in the Western Hemisphere. President Sheinbaum: “We must remain informed and calm.”

JALISCO — Mexican Special Forces killed Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes — “El Mencho” — during a raid in Tapalpa, Jalisco Sunday morning. He was wounded in the firefight and died while being airlifted to Mexico City, the Defense Ministry confirmed, decapitating what had become the most violent criminal organization in the Americas, and a major source of the fentanyl flooding North America.

President Claudia Sheinbaum posted to X at 4:22 PM, pledging the full weight of the Mexican state behind her response to the spreading violence. Acknowledging “various blockades and other reactions” triggered by the operation, she insisted there was “absolute coordination with the governments of all states” and that across “the vast majority of the national territory, activities are proceeding with complete normality.”

That normality was hard to find on the ground. Violence rippled across southwestern Mexico as criminal groups erected flaming roadblocks in Jalisco, Michoacán, and Guanajuato, triggering shootouts with security forces and reported explosions, according to Canada’s official travel advisory for Mexico.

In Puerto Vallarta, authorities issued a shelter-in-place order and suspended all taxi and rideshare services, while travel disruptions mounted — including flight delays and cancellations.
