Mexican National Guard

The Mexican National Guard is a security force in Mexico. Recent news highlights their involvement in the escalating violence following the death of Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. In the wake of Oseguera's death at the hands of Mexican security forces, cartel members launched retaliatory attacks, resulting in the deaths of at least 25 National Guard troops, along with other officials and civilians. This surge in violence has raised concerns about security, especially in the lead-up to the FIFA World Cup. The National Guard's presence is also noted at scenes of other cartel-related violence, such as a mass shooting at a soccer match. Their role in combating powerful criminal organizations and maintaining order is under increased scrutiny as the Mexican government attempts to demonstrate its commitment to fighting cartels.
