If you have plans to travel to Mexico, you may already be aware of the civil unrest that occurred this past weekend. On Sunday, Feb. 22, violence erupted following the death of Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes, who led the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion.
The popular tourist destinations of Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara in the Jalisco region, where Cervantes was killed, were under a "shelter in place" order from the U.S. Department of State for U.S. citizens. Tremors of unrest were felt across the country.
