Threat of further violence looms after Mexican cartel rampage

Following a violent rampage by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) in Guadalajara and Jalisco state, Mexico, residents fear further violence. The CJNG set vehicles ablaze and ransacked businesses on Sunday in response to the reported killing of their leader, Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera. Despite President Sheinbaum's claims of restored peace and increased security presence, many businesses remained closed and streets were empty as people stayed home. The cartel's actions demonstrated their power and ability to sow fear, while some residents are attempting to return to normalcy, hoping to provide safe spaces for the community. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges of Mexico's drug war and questions about the government's response.
