The CJNG cartel is spreading its operations and killing Mexican police after their bloodthirsty leader, El Mencho, was executed. Hours after El Mencho was killed in a joint U.S.-Mexico operation, CJNG (Jalisco New Generation Cartel) gunmen began targeting police across Jalisco.
There is also misinformation spreading. A stampede at Guadalajara airport occurred because 500 bots amplified disinformation.

The U.S. State Department issued a shelter-in-place warning for U.S. citizens after the killing of a drug kingpin, considered one of the most wanted and dangerous cartel leaders.
The warning comes due to ongoing security operations, road blockages, and criminal activity. U.S. citizens in Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacan, Guerrero, and Nuevo Leon are advised to shelter in place until further notice.
Airports, bus stations, and several malls have been attacked, especially in Jalisco. Authorities recommend avoiding areas around law enforcement activity, staying aware of surroundings, minimizing unnecessary movements, monitoring local media for updates, avoiding crowds, and following instructions from local authorities.
As calls go out for everyone to shelter in place, businesses are being attacked and burnt.

Los Deltas
The post shares CCTV footage of CJNG cartel members in Guadalajara, Mexico, methodically evacuating civilians from a gas station before igniting the fuel pumps, sparking massive fireballs in retaliation for the Mexican army’s killing of cartel leader “El Mencho” earlier today.
This incident is part of widespread CJNG reprisals, including arson at over 50 vehicles and stores across 13 Mexican states, as confirmed by Reuters and local reports, leading to a U.S. embassy alert for Americans to shelter in place.

I have two very dear friends traveling to their Puerto Vallarta timeshare tomorrow. As I have said previously, I would not go to Mexico if they gave the whole hell-hole, cartel-ruled country to me.
