Jessica Johanna Oseguera González, is the U.S.-born daughter of alleged Mexican cartel leader Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, the head of the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion.
Following reports that Mexican authorities killed El Mencho during a military operation, international attention has once again turned toward his family, particularly his daughter and her previous legal history.
Born in San Francisco, California, Jessica Johanna Oseguera González holds dual citizenship of the United States and Mexico.
She spent part of her childhood in the United States before relocating to Mexico during her school years. She later pursued higher education in Guadalajara, where she studied marketing and was sometimes mentioned in media reports by the nickname “La Negra.”
Her public profile largely emerged because of legal issues in the United States.
In 2020, she was arrested in Washington, D.C., after traveling from Mexico to attend a court hearing involving her brother. U.S. prosecutors charged her with violating the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act, which prohibits financial transactions with individuals or companies sanctioned for supporting drug trafficking organizations.
According to the United States Department of Justice, Jessica Johanna Oseguera González continued business relationships with six Mexican companies that had been designated as specially designated narcotics traffickers by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
Authorities alleged she remained an owner, director, or agent of entities including J&P Advertising S.A. de C.V., JJGON S.P.R. de R.L. de C.V., Las Flores Cabañas, Mizu Sushi Lounge, Tequila Onze Black, and Operadora Los Famosos S.A. de C.V., which operated under the name Kenzo Sushi.
Prosecutors stated that these businesses were linked to the financial network associated with the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion.
Jessica Johanna Oseguera González did not obtain the required federal license to continue financial dealings with the sanctioned companies, which formed the basis of the criminal violation charge.
She ultimately pleaded guilty to willfully violating U.S. sanctions laws. In 2021, she was sentenced to 30 months in prison. The sentencing followed federal findings that she knowingly engaged in prohibited transactions involving property associated with designated narcotics traffickers.
Jessica Johanna Oseguera González served about 25 months of her sentence and was released in April 2022. Since her release, there have been no verified reports of additional criminal charges or active involvement in cartel-related business activities.
Her family background has remained a subject of global attention. Her father, El Mencho, is considered one of the most powerful and elusive cartel figures in modern Mexican criminal history.
Her brother, Rubén Oseguera González, also known as “El Menchito,” is serving a life sentence in the United States for drug trafficking offenses, while other relatives have faced legal action connected to international drug networks.
Reports about the killing of Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes have circulated after Mexican military operations, although official confirmation has remained limited in public records.
The reported death has fueled speculation about possible leadership shifts within the cartel structure, but there is no verified evidence linking Jessica Johanna Oseguera González to operational command or criminal succession.
Since her release from prison, Jessica Johanna Oseguera González has kept a very low public profile. Authorities have not disclosed her exact location or current occupation. Public information does not indicate that she is involved in cartel leadership or illegal operations.
As tensions related to organized crime continue in Mexico, interest in Jessica Johanna Oseguera González persists because of her family ties and prior conviction, though no evidence suggests she is currently active in criminal activities.
