Mexico says Jalisco security situation 'stabilized,' flights resuming after Americans stranded
Mexico reports Jalisco security stabilized after cartel violence following kingpin "El Mencho's" reported death, with flights resuming to Puerto Vallarta.
González and his network of shell companies flourished between 2018 and 2024, during the presidency of Andrés Manuel López Obrador. During that period, he established 45% of the companies he allegedly used to launder money for the Jalisco cartel.
"El Mencho," the powerful drug lord the Mexican army killed in a daring raid Sunday, had created what security experts say was one of the most advanced security operations devised to protect a cartel boss. His system relied on high-powered weaponry, nearly 400 gunmen, bomb-delivering drones and, sometimes, landmines.
Chicagoans visiting Mexico described the tense moments they spent hiding or running away from men carrying guns. Others with roots in western Mexico said the violence hits close to home.
