Armed forces fatally targeted the commander of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel on Sunday. This specific federal strike occurred near the western settlement of Tapalpa. In response to the raid, criminals burned numerous passenger vehicles across various regional highways to establish roadblocks. The deceased former law enforcement official had previously grown his syndicate into an exceptionally powerful organisation smuggling illicit drugs towards the United States.
