Infantino very reassured over Mexico 2026 despite cartel violence

FIFA President Gianni Infantino says he is very reassured about Mexico’s readiness to host 2026 World Cup matches despite a wave of cartel violence that shocked the country this week.​ Speaking in Barranquilla, Colombia, he described the tournament as “spectacular” and said everything is on track, even after deadly unrest linked to the killing of Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera. Cartel gunmen went on a rampage in several states, including host city Guadalajara, blocking roads and burning vehicles and businesses.​ At least 74 people were killed during the operation to capture Oseguera near Guadalajara and in subsequent clashes between security forces and suspected cartel members, according to the Mexican government. Only one of those killed was reported as a civilian, but residents and tourists described scenes that felt like a war zone.​ Images of the violence, […]

Cartel Violence Casts Shadow Over Guadalajara

Driving into Guadalajara days after a wave of cartel violence, the aftermath remains visible. Burnt-out vehicles line major roads and blackened stretches of highway mark where dozens of cars were set ablaze during a coordinated rampage attributed to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The violence followed reports that the cartel’s leader, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera, had been killed. The message from the group was unmistakable: with or without its chief, the CJNG retains the capacity to paralyse a major city and project power through fear. Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, sought to calm concerns, saying in her daily press conference that order was being restored and praising the response of security forces. Yet the heavy presence of soldiers and police convoys across Guadalajara has done little to ease public anxiety. Streets remain quieter than usual, with many schools closed and small […]

CJNG Violence Erupts After El Mencho’s Death

Members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) have launched coordinated attacks across 20 Mexican states following the death of their leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho.” El Mencho died in custody on Sunday shortly after being captured by Mexican special forces. He had been seriously wounded during a firefight between his security detail and military commandos in the town of Tapalpa, Jalisco. Authorities said he died while being transported to Mexico City.

Mexico’s most wanted drug lord ‘El Mencho’ killed in army operation

Mexican soldiers have killed Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, alias El Mencho, the country’s most wanted drug lord and leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), during a military operation in Jalisco state.

El Mencho, believed to be 59, had a US State Department bounty of up to 10–15 million dollars on his head and was accused of flooding the United States with fentanyl, methamphetamine and other hard drugs.

Miss Mexico Crowned Miss Universe After Host Drama

Fatima Bosch of Mexico was crowned Miss Universe in Thailand on November 21, 2025, after a dramatic contest marked by controversy and solidarity. Bosch walked out of a pageant meeting earlier this month when Miss Universe Thailand’s director insulted her intelligence over social media promotion issues. Fellow contestants initially joined Bosch, prompting the host to demand remaining participants sit down. Bosch’s victory was met with celebrations in her home city, Villahermosa, and earned praise from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who called Bosch an “example of speaking out.” Bosch told reporters she hoped to be remembered for authenticity and breaking the Miss Universe prototype. The final round also saw judges quit, claims of a “secret illegitimate vote,” and two contestants injured after falling on and off the stage. The Miss Universe Organization denied the contest was rigged. Bosch’s win was widely […]

Peru declares Mexican president persona non grata over asylum row

Peru’s Congress voted on Thursday to declare Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum persona non grata after her government granted asylum to former Peruvian Prime Minister Betssy Chavez, who is on trial for allegedly aiding a 2022 coup attempt. The resolution, passed by a 63–33 vote, deepens a growing diplomatic rift between the two countries. Tensions escalated on Monday when Mexico approved asylum for Chavez, prompting Peru to sever formal diplomatic ties. Chavez served as prime minister in December 2022 under then-president Pedro Castillo, who was ousted and arrested after attempting to dissolve Congress during a political standoff. Peru’s acting Congress president, Fernando Rospigliosi, accused Sheinbaum of “interfering” in the country’s internal affairs, saying Mexico’s decision to shelter Chavez violated diplomatic norms.“It has been clearly established that President Sheinbaum interfered not only through statements but also through direct action by granting asylum,” […]

Miss Universe pageant in Thailand hit by controversy and drama

This year’s Miss Universe pageant in Thailand has been overshadowed by controversy and emotional drama, following a heated dispute involving a contestant and the event’s host. More than 120 women from around the world are competing for the Miss Universe crown, but the lead-up to the event has been dominated by off-stage scandals rather than glamour. The drama erupted when Mexico’s representative, Fatima Bosch, walked out of a meeting after Thai host Nawat Itsaragrisil allegedly insulted her intelligence. The confrontation, captured on a livestream, showed Nawat appearing to call Bosch a “dumbhead” over her failure to post promotional content online — a claim he later denied. After security was called in, Bosch walked out of the room, joined by Miss Iraq. “What your director did is not respectful. He called me dumb,” Bosch told reporters. “The world needs to see […]

Protesters Demand Answers 11 Years After Mexican Students Vanished

Eleven years after 43 students from Ayotzinapa teacher training college disappeared, relatives and supporters returned to the streets of Mexico City on Friday, demanding truth and justice in a case that remains one of the country’s darkest human rights scandals. The students, known for their political activism, were last seen on September 26, 2014, after they commandeered buses to travel to a demonstration in Mexico City. Investigators believe they were kidnapped by a drug cartel in collusion with corrupt police, but what happened next remains shrouded in mystery. So far, only the remains of three students have been identified. The whereabouts of the rest remain unknown, leaving families trapped in years of uncertainty. “We are back where we started,” said Delfina de la Cruz, whose son was among the missing. “I want to see my son, know what happened, where […]

Mexico considers 50% tariff on Chinese cars amid US pressure

Mexico is weighing a 50% tariff on car imports from China, up from the current 15–20%, under a bill submitted to Congress as pressure mounts from the United States. The proposal, unveiled Wednesday by the economy ministry, is designed to address U.S. President Donald Trump’s concerns that Chinese automakers are using Mexico as a back door to enter the U.S. market tariff-free under the USMCA trade pact. Washington has repeatedly warned that Chinese producers are exploiting loopholes in the trilateral deal with the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Beijing pushed back on Thursday, with foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian saying China “firmly opposes any coercion”, while stressing its hope for continued positive ties with Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has also voiced concern about the influx of Chinese imports, arguing they are undermining domestic manufacturing. The bill outlines protection for […]

On July 12, 2025, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States will impose a 30% tariff on imports from both the European Union and Mexico, effective August 1, 2025. He sent separate letters via his social media platform, Truth Social, to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, framing the move as a response to trade imbalance, national security threats, and migration concerns. Trump’s Justifications EU Trade Deficit: Trump cited the U.S.'s persistent trade deficit with the EU as a national security threat, accusing the bloc of using protectionist barriers and non-reciprocal trade practices. Mexico & Migration: Although acknowledging Mexico’s assistance on migration and fentanyl control, he argued it's “not enough” and used that as justification for the tariffs .
