In a major victory for border security and the war against drug cartels, Mexican security forces successfully eliminated Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, the ruthless leader known as "El Mencho" who commanded the deadly Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) for over 15 years.
The takedown of one of Mexico's most wanted drug lords comes just three weeks into President Trump's second term, as his administration ramps up pressure on both cartels and the Mexican government to secure our southern border. Coincidence? Patriots know better.
El Mencho had a $10 million bounty on his head from the DEA and was considered one of the most dangerous men in North America. His CJNG was responsible for flooding American communities with deadly fentanyl, fueling the overdose crisis that has claimed hundreds of thousands of American lives during the disastrous Biden years.
Trump Effect Already Working
While the mainstream media won't connect the dots, the timing of this operation speaks volumes. Trump's threats of tariffs and military action against cartels have clearly gotten Mexico's attention. President Trump promised to designate cartels as terrorist organizations and use military force if necessary - and Mexico is finally taking action.
"This is what happens when America has a president who actually fights for our people instead of enabling the drug trade through open borders," said one border security expert who requested anonymity.
The elimination of El Mencho removes a key figure in the cartel network that has turned American cities into war zones. But one dead kingpin isn't enough - we need systematic destruction of these criminal organizations that have operated with impunity for too long.
Under Biden's catastrophic border policies, cartels made billions while Americans died from fentanyl poisoning. Now with Trump back in charge and Stephen Miller leading immigration enforcement, these narco-terrorists are finally facing consequences.
Will Mexico continue cooperating with Trump's cartel crackdown, or will they need more persuasion? Either way, this is just the beginning of making our border secure again.
