Mexican Cartel Leader's Son, Who Ordered 100 Killings, Gets Life In Jail In US

The 35-year-old was the second-in-command of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

The son of a Mexican drug cartel has been sentenced to life imprisonment for helping his father conduct and lead one of the biggest and deadliest drug trafficking rings in the country.

“El Menchito” Ruben Oseguera, the son of Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera, the most-wanted leader of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, was found guilty of distributing cocaine and methamphetamine for importation into the United States.

“El Menchito led the Jalisco Cartel’s efforts to use murder, kidnapping, and torture to build the Cartel,” former US Attorney General Merrick Garland said.

Prosecutors claimed the younger Oseguera shot and killed two people, instructed subordinates to fire down a Mexican military helicopter, and ordered the deaths of at least 100 people in 2015.

The 35-year-old was the second-in-command of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel before he was deported to the United States in February 2020. “El Menchito” was recruited to join his family’s drug trafficking enterprise when he was just 14 years old, according to one of his defence lawyers.

US District Judge Beryl Howell sentenced “El Menchito” Ruben Oseguera to a minimum of 40 years in prison and a maximum of life in prison in Washington, DC.

Mr Howell also mandated the surrender of more than $6 billion as part of the penalty.

The Jalisco cartel gained notoriety for manufacturing millions of doses of lethal fentanyl and smuggling it into the US under false pretences of being oxycodone, Percocet, or Xanax.

The US officials referred to the cartel as “one of the world’s most violent and prolific drug trafficking organisations.”

The elder Oseguera is charged with trafficking methamphetamine and fentanyl. Me

Earlier, Mexican drug kingpin Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the son of his former partner, were taken into custody in July 2024 in El Paso, Texas, the US Justice Department reported.

Zambada and Guzman were charged with several offences in the United States “for heading the Cartel’s criminal operations, including its deadly fentanyl manufacturing and trafficking networks.”

Seven months pregnant. Pinned to Major. And my own stepbrother drove his fist into my stomach in front of the entire hall. The applause at Camp Lejeune hadn’t even faded when the doors burst open. Sixteen years in the Marine Corps. Multiple deployments. That morning was supposed to be the moment everything paid off. Instead, I hit the floor. I remember the lights. The shouting. The metallic taste in my mouth. And my mother’s voice — not crying for her grandson, not screaming for help — but yelling at me: “Don’t ruin his life. You can have another baby. Kyle is fragile.” Fragile. Hours later, a doctor stood at my bedside and told me my son was gone. While I was still trying to breathe through the grief, my mother begged me not to press charges. Said family comes first. Said I owed it to him to stay quiet. They expected me to protect the man who destroyed my child. They expected me to swallow it for the sake of a last name. What they forgot is this: I’m a Marine. And when I started digging into Kyle’s past — the finances, the lies, the things my mother had been covering for years — I realized that punch wasn’t the first secret they’d buried. It was just the one that exposed everything. Full story in the first comment ⬇️

BEYOND THE BILLIONS. 🚨 We knew El Mencho was the world’s most wanted man, but the scene left behind in his mountain “love nest” reveals a side of the drug lord the public was never supposed to see. Even the most hardened Mexican officers were shaken by the discovery inside his kitchen. > Amidst the high-tech surveillance and armored vehicles, it was a simple household appliance that held the most twisted secret of his final hours. Some call it a ritual; others call it a warning. One thing is certain: the “Ghost of Jalisco” was living a nightmare of his own making before the first shot was even fired. 🛡️👣 FULL REPORT on the “Fridge Discovery” and the forensic photos in the comments. 👇

🔥 I broke direct orders in 18°F freezing wind to give away my last ration pack to a silent woman and her shivering child… Two weeks later, my Commanding General called me into his office. I froze when the door opened — because she was standing beside him. He smiled and said, “Meet my wife.” My name is Captain Morgan Hayes, United States Marine Corps — and that winter I learned what cold discipline really feels like. Eighteen degrees doesn’t just chill you. It slices through your uniform, turns your lashes to ice, and numbs you until only instinct keeps you moving. Your mind does the same thing — it narrows, calculates, clings to orders like a lifeline. That deployment had us operating under NATO command along the Polish border, escorting humanitarian convoys to refugee camps near a place locals called Krokoff. Black ice hid beneath dirty snow. Bandit threats were still real. The order repeated twice before dawn: No stops. Keep the convoy moving. I echoed it to my Marines the way you repeat something you don’t like — to make it real. Around mile sixty, my driver slowed without a word. A woman and a young boy stood near a broken fence line. Not waving. Not begging. Just standing there like they’d already accepted whatever came next. The boy couldn’t have been older than six. Oversized coat swallowing his hands. The woman’s scarf frozen stiff against cracked, windburned skin. “Ma’am… we can’t stop,” my corporal said — like a reminder. Like a prayer. But then the boy looked up. Not pleading. Not expecting. Just… empty. And that look hit harder than the cold ever could. Before my brain finished arguing, I keyed the mic. “Pull over.” It wasn’t dramatic. It wasn’t heroic. It was fast and small — small enough not to stall the entire convoy. I stepped into air that felt like shattered glass and grabbed my last personal ration pack — the one I’d saved because winter hunger feels personal. I handed it to them. She didn’t speak. She just took my hand and held it — firm, steady — like she wanted to remember my face. Two weeks later, I was summoned to headquarters. I walked into the General’s office… and my blood ran cold. She was standing there. He smiled. “Captain,” he said calmly, “meet my wife.” 👇 Full story in the first comment.
