Mexico has unveiled plans to fight organized crime in the violence-ridden state of Michoacan after the killing of a local mayor earlier this month. The government’s announcement follows a string of violent incidents that have plagued the region, with authorities citing the need to restore public safety and combat the escalating threat posed by criminal gangs.
The security operation involves the deployment of additional military and police personnel, along with the establishment of new surveillance and intelligence units. Officials emphasized that the initiative aims to dismantle the remaining structures of the drug cartels that have long operated in the region, while also ensuring that civilians are protected from the ongoing violence.
