El Mencho is dead, and Mexico is paying the price in blood and fire.
The leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, was eliminated in a targeted operation that the White House confirmed would not have happened without President Trump's direct leadership. What followed was immediate and devastating - cartel forces launched retaliatory strikes across multiple Mexican states in what can only be described as full-scale warfare.
Twenty-five Mexican National Guard troops were killed in coordinated attacks. Vehicles blazed on highways. Entire city blocks in Guadalajara were engulfed in flames, captured in shocking drone footage that reveals the true scope of cartel power. Airports shut down. Roads were blockaded. And thousands of American citizens found themselves trapped in a war zone with no way out.
Trump's Promise Backed by Action
The chaos proves what patriots have known all along - these aren't street gangs, they're paramilitary terrorist organizations. Republican Senator Bernie Moreno publicly called for U.S. military assistance, describing the cartels as "a clear and present danger that must be exterminated."
But here's the truth the establishment media won't tell you: this historic operation succeeded because of President Trump's day-one executive order designating cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. He authorized lethal action against drug boats. He pressured Mexico to act. And when they did, results followed.
"Mexican drug cartels know not to lay a finger on a single American or they will pay severe consequences under this president," Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt declared.
That's not diplomatic language, patriots. That's a promise backed by the full weight of American power.
Americans Coming Home
While the State Department's crisis hotlines were overwhelmed with desperate calls from Americans trapped in cartel-controlled territory, Secretary Rubio personally coordinated rescue operations. Private veteran-led organizations like Gray Bull Rescues deployed helicopters and armored vehicles into the hot zone, extracting stranded citizens that Biden's weakness would have left behind.
The contrast couldn't be sharper. Four years of Biden appeasement versus Trump-era action. Americans are coming home because this president refuses to negotiate with terrorists.
How long before the remaining cartel leaders realize they're next on Trump's list?
