Mexican drug lordEl Menchosowed death and destruction south of the border — but the evil drug kingpin also left his mark on Los Angeles.

Federal Drug Enforcement Agency officials pointed the finger at the leader of Mexico’s New Generation Cartel, also known asCJNG— whose real name is Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes — as the prime culprit behind the hideous explosion of homelessness and meth and fentanyl addiction inSkid Row.

Bill Bodner, former Special Agent in Charge of DEA Los Angeles,told Fox 11that El Mencho and CJNG were behind the hoards of drugged-out zombies that gripped the downtown LA neighborhood in a televised interview when he was still running the DEA office, back in 2020

“CJNG, probably the most prolific cartel in Mexico right now as far as perpetrating violence and trafficking and drugs, is a huge influence on those of us in California,” said Bodner.

“They’re pushing the drugs that are coming into the community here,” Bodner continued. “They’re responsible for part of the homelessness.”

Oseguera Cervantes waslocated and killedon Sunday after intelligence agencies were able to track down one of his lovers to his secluded resort compound in the mountainside getaway of Tapalpa, Jalisco, Mexico’s Defense Secretary Ricardo Trevillasaid Monday.

The death of Mexico’s most powerful and notorious drug lord set the entire nation on fire and triggered cartels towage a violent revoltacross at least 20 of Mexico’s 31 states,killing at least 25Mexican National Guard members as of Monday.

Oseguera Cervantes rose to power following thespectacular 2014 captureand thendramatic 2016 re-arrestof former top Mexico drug boss Joaquín Guzmán, known as “El Chapo”, the ex-leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.

But Bodner said Oseguera Cervantes was actually much worse than Guzmán — because Oseguera Cervantes was more businesslike than hisflamboyant predecessor.

“To some extent, I feel El Chapo was a little bit overrated,” Bodner explained. “Mencho is probably worse because he’s more professional professional and focused on business. and he’s more focused on disciplined business.”
