No the US still has nukes - there are multiple references to nukes being removed by MilGov forces in various modules - including Ozarks and Howling Wildnerness (look at the reference to the Iowa Reserve Militia trying to remove nukes only to find that the warheads had already been removed by MilGov forces) - MilGov has moved them all to Colorado.
As for launching them at Mexico - most likely that didn happen which may explain why the Mexican forces that are left are so small - i.e. there wasnt a reinforcement. And MilGov may have thought they could deal with them conventionally - plus I doubt the US would use nukes on their own soil.

San Antonio had to this point been relatively untouched by
the war itself, although famine, disease, and civil strife had
reduced the city's population to less than half its pre-war level.
The Soviet commander knew the Americans would hesitate to
incinerate 120,000 of their own people just to punish a few
thousand Soviet invaders.
So its pretty clear that MilGov still has nukes - they just dont want to use what they have left. And I am betting that a lot of Mexico did get nuked by them - but not until after their forces were on US soil anyway. They didnt get the follow on forces that might have allowed them to take all of Texas and California and even more - but the nukes stopped that and all they had left was enough to hold southern and central Texas southern CA - and then only because the Soviets stopped the 49th.
