Following the death of Mexico's most powerful drug lord, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," violent unrest erupted across several regions, notably in Jalisco and Michoacán. Band members retaliated by blocking over 20 roads with burning vehicles, setting fire to gas stations and shops, leading to the cancellation of events and in-person schooling. The public was advised to stay home, and the US and German embassies issued warnings about the disturbances, urging citizens to remain in safe locations. Airlines rerouted flights due to the insecurity, and the Mexican president called for calm while acknowledging the ongoing threat posed by El Mencho's cartel, CJNG.
