俄克拉荷马州共和党参议员马克韦恩·穆林周二敦促计划前往墨西哥的春假旅行者取消行程,原因是本周早些时候墨西哥军队击毙贩毒集团头目内梅西奥·鲁文·奥塞古拉·塞万提斯(Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes,被称为“El Mencho”)引发了该国暴力冲突。

穆林在接受CNBC《Squawk Box》节目采访时发表上述评论,他表示自己的脊椎按摩师仍计划前往墨西哥一个热门旅游目的地。

“任何计划在春假期间去墨西哥的人……我的意思是,我的脊椎按摩师昨天打电话说他仍打算去坎昆,我说‘你疯了吗?’”穆林说道。

“现在没有人应该去那里,那里局势非常不稳定,而美国正高度关注事态发展。”他继续说道。

这一评论发表之际,正值墨西哥军队周日在哈利斯科州塔帕拉开展行动,目标是击毙“El Mencho”——他曾是一名警察,后来成为“哈利斯科新一代贩毒集团”(Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación)头目,美国当局已将该组织认定为向美国供应芬太尼的主要来源。

“El Mencho”悬赏1500万美元,在华金·古兹曼(Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán,前锡那罗亚贩毒集团头目)被捕后崛起掌权。在过去约15年里,“哈利斯科新一代贩毒集团”已从一个地区性犯罪组织扩张为一个总部位于哈利斯科州的全球性贩毒组织。

墨西哥国防部表示,此次行动是与美国双边协调合作的一部分,美国当局提供了补充情报,助力击毙“El Mencho”。

“El Mencho”死后,贩毒集团成员在墨西哥多个州焚烧车辆并封堵道路。墨西哥西部部分地区也报告发生暴力冲突。

墨西哥当局随后表示,安全局势已“稳定”。

墨西哥驻美国大使馆周二表示:“联邦和州当局正着手重新开放交通通道,平稳恢复公共服务。航空公司运营正常,国际航空公司今日恢复航班。巴亚尔塔港国际机场已恢复国内航班运营。”

大使馆补充道:“如果在哈利斯科州旅行,当地仍有一些安全措施,同时当局正在恢复机场的全部运营能力。我们正与国际合作伙伴合作,确保所有交通枢纽和旅游目的地的安全与稳定。”

但美国国务院针对墨西哥的旅行警告仍然有效。美国政府此前曾向在墨西哥的美国人发布“就地避难”令,该命令现已解除。

“哈利斯科新一代贩毒集团”被认为是墨西哥最强大的贩毒集团,估计拥有约19,000名成员,在该国32个州中的21个州开展活动。

特朗普政府已将该贩毒集团列为外国恐怖组织。

穆林周二表示,墨西哥此次行动后贩毒集团分裂对美国和墨西哥来说是“彻底清除它们的绝佳机会”。

“我们能消除世界上所有的毒品走私吗?绝对不能。但我们能再次控制局面吗?绝对可以。”他补充道。

Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., on Tuesday urged spring breakers with plans to visit Mexico to cancel their trips due to violent clashes in the country triggered by the Mexican army’s killing of cartel leader Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” earlier this week.

Mullin made the comments during an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” in which he said his chiropractor was still planning to visit a popular tourist destination in Mexico.

“Anybody that’s planning on going to Mexico for spring break … I mean, my chiropractor called me yesterday and said he’s still planning on going to Cancún, I said, ‘Are you crazy?’” Mullin said.

“No one should be going down there right now, it is very volatile and the United States is laser-focused on watching what’s taking place,” he continued.

The senator’s comments come after Mexican troops conducted operations on Sunday in Tapalpa, Jalisco, targeting El Mencho, a former police officer who became the leader of the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación, which U.S. authorities have identified as a major supplier of fentanyl to the United States.

El Mencho carried a $15 million U.S. bounty and rose to power following the arrest of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel. Over roughly the past 15 years, the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación has expanded from a regional criminal group into a global trafficking organization operating from its stronghold in Jalisco.

The Mexican Defense Department said the operation was conducted as part of bilateral coordination and cooperation with the U.S., and that U.S. authorities provided complementary intelligence that contributed to El Mencho’s killing.

After El Mencho’s death, cartel members burned cars and blocked roads in several Mexican states. Violent clashes were also reported in parts of western Mexico.

Mexican authorities later said that the security situation had been “stabilized.”

“The security situation has now stabilized following targeted operations in Jalisco,” the Mexican Embassy in the U.S. said on Tuesday.

“Federal and State authorities are proceeding to reopen transit corridors and restore public services smoothly,” the embassy continued. “Airline operations are normal, and international carriers are resuming flights today. Puerto Vallarta International Airport has reopened to domestic traffic.”

The embassy added: “If traveling through Jalisco, some local security measures remain in place, while authorities are restoring airport operations to full capacity. We are working with international partners to ensure safety and stability at all transit hubs and tourist destinations.”

But the U.S. State Department’s travel advisory for Mexico remains in effect. The U.S. government earlier issued a shelter-in-place order for Americans in Mexico, but that order has since been lifted.

The Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación is considered the most powerful cartel in Mexico with an estimated 19,000 members and operations across 21 of the country’s 32 states.

The Trump administration designated the cartel as a foreign terrorist organization.

Mullin said on Tuesday that cartels splitting after Mexico’s operation is a “great opportunity for us, and Mexico, to take them all out.”

“Now, are we going to eliminate all the drug trafficking in the world? Absolutely not. But can we get a handle on it again? Absolutely,” he added.
