The Mexican Security Cabinet confirmed four road blockades remain active in Jalisco between 12:16 AM and 12:46 AM UTC on February 23, 2026, according to López-Dóriga on X citing López-Dóriga Digital. This update comes amid ongoing CJNG retaliation for the death of leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, El Mencho. López-Dóriga reported receiving information on a fire at a Banco del Bienestar in Coacalco, State of Mexico, during the same 30-minute window. Radio Fórmula noted on X that El Mencho's death occurred on the same date as Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán's second capture 12 years prior. These developments follow a National Guard convoy escorting a forensic ambulance in Mexico City reported in the prior window ending 11:45 PM UTC on February 22, as confirmed by El Universal citing video footage, and a CJNG ambush killing one National Guardsman and wounding three others between 10:45 PM and 11:15 PM UTC on February 22.
