Mexican military special forces killed Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) leader Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes on February 22, 2026, in a Jalisco raid aided by a new U.S. military-led intelligence task force, triggering widespread cartel retaliation but no arrest, spotlighting potential successors like U.S.-born stepson Juan Carlos Valencia Gonzalez. U.S. prosecutors followed with narcoterrorism charges and $10 million rewards on February 26 for Sinaloa Cartel plaza bosses René Arzate-García and associates, amid January extraditions of 37 suspects including mid-level operators. Enhanced bilateral cooperation under President Claudia Sheinbaum sustains pressure, though cartels' adaptability and internal power struggles heighten uncertainty for 2026 arrests ahead of Mexico's 2026 World Cup co-hosting.

* Being taken into physical custody by law enforcement authorities (including federal, state, local, military, or international law enforcement)
* Voluntarily surrendering to law enforcement authorities in response to an arrest warrant
* Being formally booked or processed following detention
* Being handcuffed by a state authority and taken to a police station
* Surrendering at a police station or courthouse with their attorney
* Being placed under house arrest or electronic monitoring
The following scenarios will NOT qualify as an arrest/detention

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the arresting government and law enforcement; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
