Mexican drug lord ‘El Mencho’ killing sparks revenge attacksOne of Mexico’s most notorious drug lords, Nemesio Oseguera, or “El Mencho,” was killed in a military raid on Sunday, sparking widespread retaliatory violence. President Claudia Sheinbaum has been under mounting pressure from Washington to intensify her offensive against drug cartels blamed for producing and smuggling drugs, particularly the synthetic opioid fentanyl, across the border to the US.

The days when a father's mere presence in the compound induced terrifying silence are rapidly fading, replaced by complex, often exhausting, modern parenting negotiations. However, the pendulum often swings to the other extreme, creating households lacking basic boundaries and leading to the chaotic "good cop, bad cop" scenario.
