According to White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, the operation to eliminate El Mencho was an important joint objective for Mexico and the United States, as he was one of the main suppliers of fentanyl to the United States.

Levitt emphasized: "President Trump made it clear that the United States will seek justice for those who send deadly drugs into our country." She also noted that the Trump administration highly values the cooperation of the Mexican army in this operation.

Additionally, Levitt reminded that President Trump had previously designated the "Jalisco New Generation" cartel as a terrorist organization.

According to the White House, during the operation, three cartel members were killed, three were injured, and two were detained.

It is also worth noting that the authorities of both countries offered rewards for information on the whereabouts of Osgera: up to 30 million Mexican pesos and up to 10 million US dollars, respectively.

It should be mentioned that following the elimination of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes on February 22, mass unrest began in Mexico. Authorities in several countries urged their citizens to be cautious and, if possible, stay in safe places amid the ongoing operation by law enforcement and rising criminal activity.
