DEA congratulates Mexico's Citizen Security and Defense for the arrest of "R1"; highlights "successful operation"

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) praised Mexican authorities, including the Secretariat of Public Security and Defense, for the arrest of Ramón Ángel 'R1', a suspected intellectual author of the murder of former mayor Carlos Manzo. The DEA highlighted the successful operation conducted by Mexican forces. U.S. Ambassador Ronald Johnson commended Mexico-U.S. cooperation against drug cartels, mentioning past actions like the killing of cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes 'El Mencho'. The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) is alleged to have killed Manzo due to perceived provocation, with indications that 'El Mencho' was aware of the operation. Mexican Secretary of Security Omar García Harfuch noted the case remains open, as the main suspect, head of a violent cell within the cartel called 'Los Rs', has yet to be formally accused.
