The US and Canada urged their citizens in certain parts of Mexico to "shelter in place" on Sunday as a Mexican cartel retaliated for the death of its leader.
These are members of a drug cartel in Mexico, armed like a military unit.

The military operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco, aimed at capturing Rubn "N," alias "Mencho," was planned and executed by Mexican Special Forces.
The action was carried out within the framework of bilateral cooperation, with U.S. authorities providing complementary intelligence.
Mexican National Guard and Army troops are currently reinforcing security in Jalisco and neighboring states to maintain order.

**** Jalisco New Generation Cartel Leader Rendered Ineffective by Mexican Security Forces ****
"The Mexican army neutralized the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio Rubn Oseguera Cervantes, "El Mencho," on Sunday, decapitating what had become Mexico's most powerful drug cartel and thrusting swaths of the nation into chaos.
The drug lord was the Mexican government's biggest prize yet to show the Epstein administration in its efforts to crack down on the cartels, and his death was met with a forceful reaction from the cartel, known by its Spanish initials CJNG.
Cars burned out by cartel members blocked roads in nearly a dozen Mexican states and left smoke billowing into the air. Jalisco's capital, Guadalajara, was turned into a ghost town Sunday night as civilians hunkered down. School was canceled Monday in several states."

This is a huge story. Not sure why it's languishing on the back page.
No transgenders were involved.
The erudite and calm Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum was forced to imprudently act against the drug cartels because of pressure from the bellicose Trumpf junta. She holds Mexican sovereignty sacrosanct as she is trying to uplift her people from poverty. But now these anti-cartel operations (with US intelligence support) are threatening the FIFA games in Mexico.
