Governors Rise to the Challenge as Drug Cartel Violence Soars

In an alarming escalation of violence linked to drug cartels in Mexico, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has issued a stern warning to residents, urging them to be vigilant as chaos erupts across the border.

The intensified unrest follows the recent death of high-profile cartel leader Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), whose demise has sparked violent confrontations and widespread fear throughout Mexico.


Governor Abbott made it clear that the safety of Texans remains his utmost priority.

“Texans’ safety is my top priority, whether they are here at home or traveling abroad,” Abbott stated.

He encouraged all Texans, especially those currently in Mexico, to heed U.S. officials' guidance while staying in communication with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.

The U.S. State Department has corroborated Abbott's concerns, advising American citizens in Mexico to shelter in place until order is restored by Mexican military forces.

Cartel violence in the wake of El Mencho’s death has reached shocking levels, with reports of burning blockades and attacks occurring across 20 Mexican states.

The CJNG's actions have disrupted life in numerous cities, particularly in popular tourist destinations like Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara.

The chaos, characterized by arson and destruction, underscores a growing trend of cartel violence that has endangered the safety of both Mexicans and American citizens.

This situation draws attention to the effective border security strategies championed during the Trump administration.

President Trump, alongside Vice President JD Vance, took decisive actions to combat drug trafficking and restore order at the U.S.-Mexico border.

In fact, under the Trump administration, CJNG was designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization, enabling the U.S. to leverage military and intelligence resources against these criminal enterprises.

As the Biden administration continues to grapple with border security and immigrant policies, Abbott's proactive leadership serves as a stark reminder of the importance of prioritizing the safety and well-being of American families.

With the violence spilling over from Mexico, it is evident that strong and resolute action must be taken to protect Texans and prevent conditions that allow drug cartels to thrive.

Governor Abbott’s alert signifies that the responsibility of safeguarding Texan lives rests heavily on both state and federal leadership in these challenging times.

As the unfolding crisis demands attention and action, it remains to be seen how effectively current leaders will respond to threats posed by drug cartels impacting not only states bordering Mexico but the entire nation.
