US imposes new Mexican cartel sanctions, cites murder of TikTok influencer
Briefly

The Trump administration has imposed sanctions on five leaders of the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG), citing their connections to drug trafficking and violence, notably in the case of influencer Valeria Marquez. The CJNG has been designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization due to its widespread violence, including femicide. The targeted killings and intimidation tactics employed by the cartel pose a severe threat to women's safety in Mexico. Authorities are offering a $15 million reward for the capture of the cartel's leader, Nemesio Ruben El Mencho Oseguera Cervantes.
The brutal attack on Valeria Marquez not only emphasizes the violent reality of femicide in Mexico but also illustrates the impunity surrounding these gender-based crimes.
The Trump administration's sanctions against the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion spotlight the cartel's role in drug trafficking and its affiliation with femicide in Mexico.
