The X post from Visegrád 24 (dated February 22, 2026) shows chaotic scenes at Guadalajara International Airport (in Jalisco, Mexico), where crowds of people are seen panicking, abandoning luggage, and running in fear.The caption explains this as a response to the killing of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias "El Mencho", the longtime founder and leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). He was reportedly killed earlier that day in a Mexican army/military operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco. The cartel then launched retaliatory attacks, including violence at/near the airport, roadblocks, vehicle fires, and clashes in areas like Puerto Vallarta.Multiple major outlets (NPR, BBC, New York Times, AP, Financial Times, etc.) confirmed El Mencho's death on February 22, 2026, describing it as a major blow to Mexico's most powerful cartel, which controls large-scale fentanyl and other drug trafficking into the US. He died from injuries during or after the operation (some reports say while being airlifted).The video captures the terror among civilians and travelers, with some describing the cartel's actions as resembling an insurgency — burning cars, gunfire, and widespread panic. Airlines faced disruptions, and the US Embassy issued shelter-in-place warnings for Americans in the region.This event highlights how deeply entrenched and violent CJNG remains, even after losing its top leader — retaliation often hits innocent people hardest, turning public spaces into war zones.The original post has garnered massive engagement (thousands of likes/views) and sparked discussions about cartel power, government response, and even implications for events like the upcoming World Cup in Mexico.
