La situación no ha calmado. Todo indica que hoy será una noche muy complicada en varias partes de México.

The post you're referring to from @agusantonetti
(dated early February 23, 2026) warns that the situation in Mexico hasn't calmed down and predicts a very difficult night ahead in several areas. It urges people not to leave their homes and shows real-time footage from Zapopan, Jalisco, where cartel members are still active on the streets amid chaos.Background on What HappenedMexican military forces killed Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias "El Mencho", the longtime leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), during a major operation on February 22, 2026, in Tapalpa, Jalisco. He was wounded in the raid and died during aerial transfer to Mexico City. The operation (with U.S. intelligence support) also resulted in other cartel members killed, some arrests, and high-powered weapons seized.This was a huge blow to the CJNG — one of Mexico's most powerful and violent cartels — but it immediately triggered massive retaliation:Suspected CJNG cells set up road blockades (narcobloqueos), burned vehicles (including buses), torched businesses, and clashed with security forces.
Violence spread across at least 20 states, with over 250 blockades reported initially (most later cleared).
Jalisco saw the worst of it, especially in areas like Zapopan, Guadalajara, and tourist zones, including burned vehicles on major roads like the Periférico.
Reports mention dozens of deaths (including security personnel, civilians, and cartel gunmen), multiple injuries, and attacks on jails, businesses, and officials.
Schools, businesses, and public spaces closed in affected areas; some states suspended classes.
Authorities described the night as "complicated," with ongoing risks after dark when groups reorganize.
The original post includes a short video clip showing the unrest in Zapopan — likely gunfire sounds, blocked roads, or people fleeing — reflecting the fear and loss of control in parts of the city.Reactions on X range from shock at the scale of the retaliation, criticism of the government (some calling it a de facto curfew imposed by fear/cartels), sarcasm about President Sheinbaum's security (e.g., reports of her being moved to a ship for protection), to broader comments on cartel power in Mexico.The situation remains highly fluid and dangerous, especially in Jalisco and other CJNG strongholds. If you're in or near affected areas, official sources recommend staying indoors and following local authorities.
