"Mexico says it killed El Mencho, leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Within hours, highways burned and violence spread across multiple states. His death is being called a victory, but removing a kingpin doesn't dismantle a cartel."
Mexico announced the death of El Mencho, leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, a major criminal organization. The announcement was followed by immediate violent responses, including highway fires and coordinated attacks across multiple Mexican states. While authorities frame the operation as a significant victory against organized crime, experts note that removing a single leader, regardless of prominence, does not fundamentally dismantle cartel infrastructure, operations, or command structures. The incident raises critical questions about the effectiveness of targeting individual cartel leaders as a counternarcotics strategy and what structural changes, if any, will result from El Mencho's death.
