Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes was a feared Mexican drug lord and the leader of a ruthless cartel accused of masterminding efforts to push fentanyl into the United States.
Once a police officer, Oseguera went on to become one of the world’s most wanted fugitives, with the United States alone offering a $15 million bounty for information leading to his arrest.
Oseguera, who formed and led the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), was an elusive figure who had been considered Mexico’s most powerful cartel boss since Sinaloa kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán was arrested last decade.
Born in July 1966 in the western state of Michoacán, Oseguera later moved to the US and was deeply involved in drug trafficking from the 1990s, according to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). In 1994, he was convicted in California for conspiracy to distribute heroin and served three years in a US prison.
After he returned to Mexico, he worked as a police officer in the western state of Jalisco but soon resumed his criminal activities, building his influence in the shadowy world of narcotics and rising to become the head of one of the country’s most powerful and ruthless criminal empires.

How To Use Mencho Like A Pro
https://www.slangsphere.com/mencho-meaning-explained-the-ultimate-guide-to-this-funny-slang/
El Mencho in English is The Mencho!
Spitballin here.
They are rolling up associates of Ryan Wedding
“It’s basically the perfect word to lightly tease someone for their coy or hesitant vibe.”
…so deep down he was a real introvert. A sensitive caring guy.
As you lay dying from gunshot wounds from shooting it out with the police, “I’m Mencho, guys.” (I’m dead.)
My Mexican friend wrote this to me:
El Mencho lo quería Trump para sacarle información, seguro con esa información terminaba de tumbar al narcogibierno de Sheinbaum.
Roughly translated,
El Mencho wanted Trump to get information out of him, surely with that information Trump would end up overthrowing Sheinbaum’s narco-gibierno.
“The Shy one”?
It’s always the quiet ones you gotta watch out for.

Pushing fentanyl is insane. I guess this is where it comes from (along with China?) not necessarily from Venezuela
Not necessarily VZ??? And you base this on ... what??? Mexico and Canada are passageways, Randy.
Here’s some great info, on El Mencho ...

THEY DIDN’T JUST KILL A DRUG LORD.
THEY KILLED A DEEP STATE GENERAL.
“El Mencho” was untouchable for 30 years. He had drones. Armored vehicles. Land mines. He shot down a military helicopter. The CIA looked the other way.
Why?
Because he wasn’t just moving drugs. He was moving children.
On Sunday morning, Trump’s intelligence led Mexican Special Forces straight to his door in Tapalpa, Jalisco.
He died in the helicopter. Like a dog.
$15 million bounty. Collected.
His son — life in prison.
His daughter — arrested.
His empire — burning.
Right now, his soldiers are setting fire to buses in Guadalajara. They are pulling people from cars. They are panicking.
Good.
That is the sound of a dying empire.
Trump took out their money with tariffs.
Trump exposed their blackmail network with the Epstein files.
Now Trump is taking out their muscle, one by one.
This is not politics. This is war. And the snakes are losing their heads.

The name/word takes on a new meaning, for sure.
So another one takes his place.
How amusing that he was hired as a policeman when released from US prison and returning to Mexico. LOL.
That’s actually an interesting post.
It should be about priorities. fentanyl is coming from your Southern border not necessarily from VZ. The cartels pushing it are ruthless and dangerous (I agree)
“That is the sound of a dying empire.”
Or as AOC would say, “below the equator.”
Mexico’s leaders money supply disrupted until new guy arrives tomorrow.
It should be about priorities. fentanyl is coming from your Southern border not necessarily from VZ...
MY Southern border?
Where are you located?
And, please post a link to back up your repeated claim that ... fentanyl isn’t necessarily coming from VZ’.
Not sure what team you’re playing for, but, it doesn’t sound like an America First team, to me.
Thanks for getting it. Ellen Good and Pretti are “Mencho,” too.
Actually, it should read “Trump wanted Mencho in order to get information from him to end (bring to bring down) Scheinbaum’s Narcogovernment.”
United States alone offering a $15 million bounty for information leading to his arrest.
Democrats are upset and will meet with the cartel to see how they can help.
