Levitt noted that "President Trump made it clear: The United States will ensure that drug terrorists supplying dangerous drugs to the country receive the punishment they deserve. We also express our gratitude to the Mexican army for its cooperation and successful execution of the operation," she added.
Additionally, the press secretary reminded that Donald Trump had previously declared the "Jalisco - New Generation" cartel a foreign terrorist organization.
According to the White House, during the operation, three cartel members were killed, three were injured, and two were arrested.
It is also worth noting that authorities in both countries announced a reward for information that could help in the arrest of Osaghera: up to 30 million Mexican pesos and up to 10 million U.S. dollars.
We remind you that after the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes on February 22, mass riots began in Mexico. Authorities in several countries urged their citizens to exercise caution and avoid leaving their homes amid ongoing operations by security forces and rising crime levels.
