La Nación reported on February 22, 2026, a series of events following the death of Nemesio Oseguera, known as ‘El Mencho’. The outlet shared updates regarding the response from Mexico’s president and subsequent international travel disruptions.

Shortly after, at 23:06 UTC, La Nación noted impacts on air travel between North America and Mexico: ” Aerolíneas de Canadá y Estados Unidos cancelan vuelos a México por violencia tras muerte de ‘El Mencho’ https://t.co/y8sTi6xcWq” (February 22, 2026).
