CHAOS Unfolds in MEXICO under Trump Pressure - Legal AF
Anthony Davis examines the killing of Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and the violent aftermath that left 73 people dead.
He explores how the Mexican military operation—carried out with U.S. intelligence support—triggered widespread cartel retaliation, paralyzing parts of the country and analyzes the political pressure exerted by Donald Trump on Mexico to intensify its fight against drug cartels, highlighting the diplomatic tensions, security challenges, and uncertainty surrounding the cartel’s future leadership following El Mencho’s death. - 02/25/2026.
