Jalisco

State Department has revoked the visas of musicians in a popular Mexican band after the group flashed big-screen images of the notorious Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as El Mencho, reputed leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation cartel.

The Trump administration has designated six Mexican cartels, including the Jalisco gang, as foreign terrorist organizations.

After his release from a U.S. prison, he returned to Mexico, reportedly became a police officer and mob hit man, and worked his way up to become a founder of the Jalisco New Generation cartel.

The camp, authorities said, was one of a number of training grounds for El Mencho’s Jalisco New Generation cartel, which is among Mexico’s largest — and most violent — criminal groups.

Treasury officials said at the time that Pérez had laundered drug money for the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion and a related trafficking group, Los Cuinis.
