“Socalj” for Borderland Beat
This morning, numerous narco-blockades and terrorist attacks erupted initially in Jalisco, specifically Tapalpa and near Guadalajara and Zapopan. Then, violence occurred in Puerto Vallarta, and across the country including Reynosa, Zacatecas and Guanajuato.
The large scale retaliatory attacks is believed to have been in response to a large Mexican Army operation against “El Mencho.” Now, according to officials contacted by Milenio, that operation resulted in the death of the longtime CJNG leader Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes.
This morning, security operations were reported in the municipality of Talpa de Allende, an area dominated by Oseguera Cervantes.
Later, road blockades were reported in at least six states: Jalisco, Michoacán, Colima, Tamaulipas, Guanajuato, and Aguascalientes.
