Mexico Says US Only Provided Intelligence in Cartel Leader Operation
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” was killed by Mexican forces Sunday in the wooded highlands of Tapalpa, located in the western state of Jalisco. Sheinbaum told reporters that the country is under control and the situation has returned to normal.
She emphasized that months of planning by Mexican security and intelligence agencies preceded the operation, with the US contributing solely through information sharing.
“All operations were carried out by federal forces. There was no participation by United States forces in the operation. What exists is extensive information sharing,” she said when asked about US involvement.
Sheinbaum added that multiple governments and institutions, including US Northern Command and INTERPOL, provided intelligence support, but no foreign troops were involved in executing the mission.
“The understanding with the United States is fundamentally based on intelligence sharing. In this case, there was information provided by the United States government…But the entire operation, from its planning, was the responsibility of the federal forces,” she stated, underscoring Mexico’s sole control over the mission.
