Mexico extradites son of Jalisco cartel to face U.S. charges
The U.S. Department of Justice confirmed Friday that Ruben Oseguera will appear in a federal court in Washington to answer a drug-distribution indictment.
Oseguera is known as “El Menchito,” after his father, Nemesio Oseguera, a.k.a. “El Mencho.” The younger Oseguera was born in California and holds dual U.S.-Mexican citizenship. He was arrested in 2015 on weapons possession and organized crime charges and had been fighting extradition.The move appeared to spark fears of retaliation.
The U.S. Embassy issued a security alert saying “following previous high-profile security operations, criminal groups operating in Jalisco have responded by taking retaliatory actions including an increase in anti-government rhetoric and blockades inside the city and on interstate highways.” “On some occasions, these criminals have seized private vehicles and set them on fire,” according to the alert.The U.S. has offered a $10 million for information leading to the arrest of the elder Oseguera.The cartel brazenly shot down a Mexican military helicopter with a rocket launcher in 2015, prompting Mexican officials to declare an all-out offensive against the criminal group.Get all the day's most vital news with our Today's Headlines newsletter, sent every weekday morning.
