The Fall of “El Mencho”: 5 Takeaways from the Chaos Reshaping Mexico

23 Feb. 2026 /Mpelembe Media — On Sunday, February 22, 2026, the long-standing pursuit of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes—the man known to the underworld and intelligence agencies alike as “El Mencho”—concluded in a violent, high-altitude end. For the Mexican military and its partners in Washington, the death of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) leader was the ultimate trophy of a decade-long hunt. However, as plumes of dark smoke rose over the coastal resort of Puerto Vallarta and civilians sprinted in panic through the Guadalajara International Airport, the victory felt pyrrhic. By sunset, Mexico had transitioned from a state of military triumph into what local social media and eyewitnesses described as a “war zone.”The stakes of this event transcend the borders of the criminal underworld. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup less than four months away and a U.S. administration that has formally declared “armed conflict” against the cartels, the fall of El Mencho is not merely a police matter; it is a global security event that threatens to reshape the Western Hemisphere.
