Jalisco Cartel Boss El Mencho's Daughter, Laisha Oseguera, Denied Suspension of Arrest Warrant

A federal judge in Mexico has rejected the request of Laisha Oseguera Gonzalez, the daughter of Jalisco cartel leader Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes, to suspend an arrest warrant for her.

Laisha Oseguera was allegedly involved in the kidnapping of two Navy members in Zapopan, Jalisco, which occurred after the arrest of her mother, Rosalinda Gonzalez, last November.

According to Borderland Beat, the magistrate of the Fourth District Court of Amparo in Criminal Matters rejected the legal appeal filed by Laisha Oseguera's legal team since she had previously obtained a similar appeal.

"Laisha Michelle Oseguera Gonzalez is denied the definitive suspension against the act and authority that were specified in the first result of this resolution, by virtue of the reasoning set out in the single recital," the court's decision said.

Arrest of El Mencho's Daughter Laisha Oseguera Suspended

Last December, Seventh District Court Judge Julio Sena issued the provisional suspension that prohibits Laisha Oseguera from being arrested for crimes that do not need pretrial detention.

El Mencho's daughter was also ordered to pay an economic guarantee of 5,000 pesos (US$240) to prevent her from being jailed. Laisha Oseguera and her boyfriend Christian Gutierrez allegedly orchestrated the November 15 kidnapping.

They were accused of ordering the abduction of the two sailors at a Walmart parking lot in Zapopan just hours after her mother had been arrested.

The sailors were accompanying a Navy captain who went inside the store while they remained in the vehicle before they were kidnapped.

The military said Gutierrez was inside the Walmart while the abduction took place. And after the sailors were kidnapped, he and El Mencho's daughter reportedly escaped.

The sailors were found kneeling on the side of a road by police officers who were patrolling a neighborhood in Puerto Vallarta on November 19. The Navy noted that the female sailor was unharmed. However, the male sailor was beaten by their captors.

Laisha Oseguera is the youngest among the three children of El Mencho with Rosalinda Gonzalez.

El Mencho's wife, known by her alias "La Jefa" or "the Boss," was arrested by the military in Zapopan on November 15 for several crimes, including her involvement in the "illicit financial operation" of the Jalisco cartel.

The Release of Jalisco Cartel Boss' Daughter 'La Negra'

Last month, El Mencho's other daughter, Jessica Johanna Oseguera Gonzalez, known as "La Negra," was released from a U.S. prison after being jailed for over 25 months on charges of money laundering.

The U.S. Bureau of Prisons told Univision News that La Negra was released on March 14, a month earlier than her scheduled release date.

"Jessica Johanna Oseguera Gonzalez was released from the custody of the Bureau of Prisons on March 14, 2022, through the First Step Law. For privacy and security reasons, we do not disclose additional information about inmates not in BOP custody," Randilee Giamusso, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Prisons, told the outlet.

The so-called First Step Act was signed into law by former President Donald Trump in December 2018. It was enacted to reduce the population in federal prisons and prevent recidivism. To date, the Bureau of Prisons said more than 4,000 sentence reductions had been granted.

El Mencho's daughter served the last part of her sentence at the FCI Dublin prison in San Francisco, California.

La Negra's attorneys earlier asked the court that she serve her prison sentence in a jail in California so she could be close to her relatives. El Mencho's daughter was born in California and moved to Mexico while in high school.

El Mencho, who heads the Jalisco cartel, continues to evade capture, and the U.S. government offers a $10 million reward for information leading to his arrest. The Jalisco cartel boss remains to be the most elusive criminal and is reportedly hiding in Mexico.

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel or Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) had approximately 5,000 members and was allegedly involved in mass graves, kidnappings, acid baths, and video recording beheadings.

The Jalisco cartel is considered one of Mexico's most dangerous and powerful drug cartels.
