the security situation regarding Mexican drug cartels has experienced a major, volatile shift following the reported killing of a top-tier cartel leader, intensifying the crackdown on criminal organizations.

Here is the update on Mexican cartels as of February 22, 2026:

CJNG Leader "El Mencho" Killed: Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), was killed on Sunday, February 22, 2026, during a Mexican military operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco.

Violent Backlash: Following the death of the CJNG leader, violent reprisals erupted across several Mexican states, including the burning of vehicles and buses to block roads, particularly in the state of Jalisco.

Intensified Security Operations: The operation was part of a reinforced effort against drug trafficking. Reports indicate a high-stakes, intelligence-driven operation, with U.S. agencies providing support.

Continued U.S. Pressure: The action against "El Mencho" comes amid sustained pressure from the U.S. government to crack down on fentanyl trafficking, with reports mentioning a "Joint Interagency Task Force-Counter Cartel" focusing on the border.

Sinaloa Cartel Faction Activity: In northern Sinaloa, violence continues, with reports of 10 miners kidnapped by a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel (the "Chapitos").

Drone Threats: Mexican cartels are increasingly utilizing drones for both surveillance and attacks, causing significant security concerns at the U.S.-Mexico border, including a temporary airspace closure in El Paso, Texas, in mid-February 2026.
