The death of “El Mencho,” leader of the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel, has created a dangerous power vacuum. With his son imprisoned, there is no clear family successor. Security expert David Saucedo warns this could trigger a violent internal war among top commanders, similar to recent Sinaloa Cartel infighting. Contenders include figures like “El Doble R” and “El Sapo.” The cartel’s future now hinges on whether its commanders can negotiate a peaceful transition or descend into conflict.
