Made in the USA? Killed Cartel Leader Was a Deportee from the United States
The drug kingpin killed in Mexico over the weekend Mexico has caused quite a stir.
Cesar Garcia Hernandez brings up something that I did not know about the drug lord:
"Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, best known by his nickname `El Mencho,' died over the weekend in a bloody firefight at a wooded retreat in the Mexican state of Jalisco. . . . After an intense confrontation between troops and El Mencho’s bodyguards, the leader of Cartél Jalisco Nueva Generación reportedly died enroute to a medical facility.
Despite his fame as a brutal and sophisticated leader of a transnational cartel based in México, El Mencho was once nothing more than a low-level dealer in the illicit drug economy’s epicenter: the United States. Police in San Francisco arrested him in 1986 for trying to sell a small amount of crystal meth, according to a news report. He was back in the San Francisco jail three years later. Immigration officials deported him after each jail visit, only for El Mencho to return." (bold added)
