) shows a dramatic video from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. In it, he describes the intense situation: airports shut down, the military heavily involved, potential power cuts looming, and his resort area surrounded by burning cars. The chaos is described as escalating rapidly.This violence erupted today (February 22, 2026) following reports that Mexican military forces killed Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, better known as "El Mencho" — the longtime leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). He was reportedly killed during an operation in Tapalpa, Jalisco, and died en route to Mexico City.In retaliation, CJNG factions (and possibly rivals taking advantage of the power vacuum) have unleashed widespread chaos across Jalisco state, especially in tourist-heavy Puerto Vallarta:Burning vehicles and barricades blocking roads
Reports of car bombings, gunfire, and attacks on infrastructure
Thick smoke visible over parts of the city
Panic at airports (including people fleeing to the tarmac in Guadalajara)
Major airlines (like Air Canada, Southwest, and others) canceling or suspending flights to/from Puerto Vallarta
Tourists and residents ordered to shelter in place by authorities, the U.S. Embassy, and Canadian officials
Warnings from the U.S. State Department and others to stay indoors, avoid travel, and monitor updates
The U.S. government has issued shelter-in-place alerts for Americans in Jalisco (including Puerto Vallarta), along with several other states. Many describe the scene as turning a popular resort paradise into a war zone overnight, with tourists trapped in hotels and resorts amid the violence.Dan Dicks appears to be on the ground (he was recently in Puerto Vallarta for an event), and his video captures beachgoers in the foreground contrasted with rising smoke and tension in the background — highlighting how close the danger is to tourist areas.Stay safe if you're in the region or know anyone there — the situation is still developing and highly volatile.
