Nemesio Ruben “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, boss of the CJNG (Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación), was captured and died from wounds sustained in a Mexican raid on Feb. 22.
It appears now that the cartel’s new leader may be 41-year old Juan Carlos Valencia Gonzalez, stepson of El Mencho.
Below is Valencia’s wanted poster. The $5,000,000 bounty will probably be increased soon.
According to the New York Post, “Juan comes from drug-dealer royalty on both sides of the family, with his biological father Armando Cornelio the founder of the Milenio cartel in the 1970s. His mother remarried El Mencho and was part of the ‘Cuinis’ gang, the financial branch of the Jalisco cartel.”
Valencia was born in California, thus making him a U.S. citizen. He is also a citizen of Mexico.
The question being asked now is, how is Valencia’s American citizenship going to complicate U.S. attempts to fight or apprehend him?
There are rules about surveilling Americans in foreign countries. How do they apply to Valencia?
If you think about it, there has been significant U.S. citizen involvement with the Mexican drug cartels.
After all, U.S. drug addicts are the main consumers of drugs sold by the Mexican cartels. That makes American drug users the main financiers of the Mexican drug cartels.
I wish President Trump would point that out.
