Over roughly the past 15 years, the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación has expanded from a regional criminal group into a global trafficking organization operating from its stronghold in Jalisco. The Mexican Defense Department said the operation was conducted as part of bilateral coordination and cooperation with the US, and that US authorities provided complementary intelligence that contributed to El Mencho’s killing. After El Mencho’s death, cartel members burned cars and blocked roads in several Mexican states. Violent clashes were also reported in parts of western Mexico.Mexican authorities later said that the security situation had been “stabilized.” “The security situation has now stabilized following targeted operations in Jalisco,” the Mexican Embassy in the U.S. said on Tuesday. “Federal and State authorities are proceeding to reopen transit corridors and restore public services smoothly,” the embassy continued. “Airline operations are normal, and international carriers are resuming flights today. Puerto Vallarta International Airport has reopened to domestic traffic.” The embassy added: “If traveling through Jalisco, some local security measures remain in place, while authorities are restoring airport operations to full capacity. We are working with international partners to ensure safety and stability at all transit hubs and tourist destinations.”But the US State Department’s travel advisory for Mexico remains in effect. The US government earlier issued a shelter-in-place order for Americans in Mexico, but that order has since been lifted. The Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación is considered the most powerful cartel in Mexico with an estimated 19,000 members and operations across 21 of the country’s 32 states.Mullin said on Tuesday that cartels splitting after Mexico’s operation is a “great opportunity for us, and Mexico, to take them all out.” “Now, are we going to eliminate all the drug trafficking in the world? Absolutely not. But can we get a handle on it again? Absolutely,” he added.Another California wine giant shuts site and axes staff as chaos rips across Napa Valley3.5KWhen Is Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address?
