Mayhem in Mexico Follows Death of Cartel Boss on U.S. Intel
Violence erupted across Mexico Sunday after the death of Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) boss "El Mencho," known to authorities as Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes. The U.S. Embassy to Mexico advised American citizens in multiple states to shelter in place and only lifted that warning on Tuesday, when public transportation and businesses "return[ed] to normal operations." The incident illustrates the problem with letting criminal enterprises run amok in the country and the difficulty of prying them loose.
