DOMINOES FALLING: Mexican Forces Crush Cartel Uprisings Across Three More States
The tide is turning in the fight against narcoterrorism. Following the historic elimination of "El Mencho," the Mexican government—emboldened by U.S. intelligence and Trump-era pressure—has successfully crushed cartel uprisings in Michoacán, Puebla, and Veracruz.
In a massive display of state firepower, federal forces moved with lightning speed on February 23, 2026, to dismantle the "scorched earth" blockades that had paralyzed these regions. With order now restored in these critical areas, the full weight of the Mexican military is shifting its focus to the heart of the beast: Jalisco.
The Restoration of Law and Order
For the faithful and patriotic, this is the "Peace Through Strength" doctrine in action. The cartels, which have long operated with godless impunity, are finding that their tactics of digging up highways and burning vehicles are no match for a government that has finally decided to fight back.
Michoacán & Veracruz: Once cartel strongholds, these states saw decisive military maneuvers that cleared highways and arrested dozens of mid-level commanders.
Puebla Cleared: Vital transit routes leading to the capital have been secured, ensuring the flow of commerce and the safety of innocent families.
The Jalisco Offensive: All eyes are now on Jalisco, where the remnants of the CJNG are being cornered. Military helicopters and elite ground units are closing in to finish the job.
Protecting the Homeland
From a MAGA perspective, this aggressive crackdown is exactly what is needed to Secure the Border and stop the flow of poison into American communities. By taking the fight directly to the source, the current administration is ensuring that the "bad hombres" have nowhere left to hide.
We pray for the continued safety of the brave soldiers on the front lines as they move into the final phases of this operation. The message to the world is clear: Criminal anarchy will not be tolerated, and the rule of law will be restored.

International Cartel Development Update from Tucson’s Trusted News Source 857Tucson
!
Mexican military officials report that on February 22, a large-scale joint operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco resulted in the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, widely known as “El Mencho,” longtime leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
According to released details, Special Forces and National Guard units carried out a coordinated ground-and-air operation after intelligence efforts tracked his location. Authorities say two separate armed confrontations occurred — first at a structure where he was reportedly located, and later in a wooded area as suspects attempted to flee.
Mexican officials report:
• 8 suspected cartel members killed
• Multiple arrests
• Seizure of armored vehicles and high-powered weapons, including rocket launchers
• One National Guard officer later died from injuries sustained in the operation
Mencho was reportedly wounded during the exchange of gunfire and transported by helicopter for medical treatment but died en route.
CJNG has long been identified by U.S. and Mexican authorities as one of the most powerful and heavily armed criminal organizations in the Western Hemisphere, with influence tied to drug trafficking routes, weapons smuggling, and cartel violence that impacts communities on both sides of the border — including Arizona.
What happens next?
Historically, the removal of a cartel leader does not automatically dissolve the organization. Power vacuums can sometimes trigger internal conflict or retaliation. Security analysts will be watching closely to see:
• Whether CJNG fractures or consolidates under new leadership
• If retaliation impacts certain regions of Mexico
• Whether border states see operational changes
For Southern Arizona residents, cartel dynamics are not distant headlines — they often influence trafficking patterns, cross-border crime trends, and federal enforcement activity.
This is a major development. Whether it marks the beginning of the end for CJNG — or simply another chapter in a long-running fight — remains to be seen. 857Tucson will continue monitoring updates as confirmed information becomes available.
