The CJNG cartel is spreading its operations and killing Mexican police after their bloodthirsty leader, El Mencho, was executed. Hours after El Mencho was killed in a joint U.S.-Mexico operation, CJNG (Jalisco New Generation Cartel) gunmen began targeting police across Jalisco. There is also misinformation spreading. A stampede at Guadalajara airport occurred because 500 bots […] The post CJNG Cartel Spreads to Several Cities, Killing the Police, Destroying Businesses appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Americans are being asked by the State Department to remain sheltered in place in parts of Mexico due to civil unrest following the successful killing of Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes on Sunday. Cervantes was killed by the Mexican army with “complementary information” provided by the United States, The Daily Wire reported. The State Department’s travel alert specifically notes that Americans in the Mexican states of Jalisco, Baja California, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Michoacan, Oaxaca, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas and Quintana Roo State “should shelter in place until further notice.” The states contain major tourism hubs such as Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, Cancun, as well as Playa del Carmen and Tulum, among other major cities. “Due to ongoing, widespread security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity in many areas of Mexico, U.S. citizens should shelter in place until further notice,” the U.S. Department of State Consular Affairs posted to X on Sunday afternoon. “Roadblocks have impacted airline operations, with some domestic & int’l flights canceled in both Guadalajara & Puerto Vallarta. Taxis/ride shares are suspended in Puerto Vallarta. Seek shelter and remain in residences or hotels,” the post added. Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs, Mora Namdar, posted that “the Trump Administration has no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens” and to “keep family and friends advised of your location and well-being.” She is encouraging Americans in Mexico to join the Smart Traveler Enrollment program, monitor the department’s social media and to contact the phone numbers listed on the security alert if needed. The security alert also recommends that Americans stay away from crowds and “areas around law enforcement activity,” check local news, and “be aware” of their environment. The alert also noted that employees at the American consulate in Tijuana are having to shelter in place, and those who work at the consulate in Monterrey are being asked to stay in the region. The Daily Wire reported that cartel members throughout the country were setting fire to buses and even blocking roads. Southwest Airlines issued a travel alert for Puerto Vallarta, and American and United Airlines issued alerts for Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta. Some airlines are offering options for rebooking if someone’s flight is affected by the situation. In 2024, an estimated 870,000 American “residents” traveled to Puerto Vallarta and a million visiting Guadalajara, as Mexico was considered the “largest outbound market” for Americans leaving the U.S., according to the International Trade Administration.

Something appears to be laughably missing in Politico's Saturday story about the  June nonpartisan gubernatorial primary in California. Namely the front runner is a Republican, Steve Hilton, and another Republican is very possibly the second place candidate, both of whom would be facing each other in the November general election for governor. Is it a mere coincidence that Politico writers Blake Jones and Lindsey Holden completely ignored them because they happen to have the taboo (R) by their names which are completely AWOL in "Why Swalwell and Steyer are surging in California governor’s race"? The focus of the story (to the complete exclusion of Republicans) is made completely absurd by the inconvenient fact that Eric Swalwell is currently in either second or third place while Hilton is ahead of him according to the latest results from Emerson College Polling.   NEW: CALIFORNIA POLL with @CaliforniaICPSteve Hilton (R) 17% Eric Swalwell (D) 14% Chad Bianco (R) 14% Katie Porter (D) 10% Tom Steyer (D) 9% Xavier Becerra (D) 4% Matt Mahan (D) 3% Antonio Villaraigosa (D) 3% Betty Yee (D) 2% 21% undecided Watch: https://t.co/X1Ghupak8X… pic.twitter.com/AClOv7CB9j — Emerson College Polling (@EmersonPolling) February 18, 2026 Swalwell might even be behind another Republican, Chad Bianco, because the latter is in a statistical dead heat with Swalwell. However, the astounding possibility that the two Republicans could end up in first and second place in the June primary meaning there would be two Republicans on the November general election ballot to the exclusion of any Democrats seems to be utterly lost on the tag team of Jones and Holden. When Eric Swalwell and Tom Steyer jumped into the California governor’s race, much of the political class rolled its eyes — two failed presidential hopefuls with seemingly thin bases and no track record statewide. Even though Jones and Holden appear to be wearing absurd political blinders, Politico in December was very aware and worried about the real nightmare electoral situation that could be facing the Democrats, as we noted in "Politico Worries With Liberals Over Too Many Democrat Candidates = GOP Win in California." "California Democrats have a math problem: They’ve added so many candidates in the race to succeed Gavin Newsom that two Republicans could end up winning the state’s quirky “jungle primary,” shutting the Democrats out." With that sobering reality in mind it makes the Jones and Holden musings such as the following microanalysis paragraph sound like garden path detours into amusing irrelevance: Swalwell has jumped ahead of Porter in several recent polls. And Steyer has climbed to the high single digits, into a statistical tie with Porter in some surveys, after blanketing every major media market in the state with ads. Steyer has already spent around $28 million of his own wealth campaigning — multiples more than any other candidate has raised — and restocked his campaign with another $9 million last month to keep the advertising onslaught going. He’s one of few candidates on the air right now, joined only by former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan, for whom a super PAC is trying to boost his low name recognition in Los Angeles. Oooh! Oooh! Do you think Swalwell or Steyer or Porter or any Democrat even appear on the gubernatorial general election ballot due to the very real possibility that the two Republican candidates whom you have completely ignored come in at first and second place in the June nonpartisan primary ballot?
