US EditionSheinbaum Unveils Security Plan for Michoacan Following Protests over Mayor’s Assassination
The plan aims to reduce cartel violence by deploying more federal forces and strengthening the prosecutor’s office after six mayors were killed in three years, officials said.
- Between Sunday and Monday, Sheinbaum announced the `Michoacan Plan for Peace and Justice` during her daily briefing at the National Palace.
- After the Saturday killing of Uruapan Mayor Carlos Alberto Manzo, protests erupted in Morelia, Uruapan and Apatzingan amid growing outrage over the seventh mayoral assassination in three years.
- Sheinbaum said the plan will deploy more National Guard troops and federal agents to support state police of Michoacán, propose a state prosecutor's office for high-impact crimes, and include biweekly security meetings with alert systems for mayors alongside social and economic investments.
- The United States responded when White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned political violence and noted cooperation with Mexico; officials say details will be unveiled in the coming days.
- Michoacán's violence has historically resisted interventions as mayors remain vulnerable to organized crime, with ongoing extortion and violence against farmers and lime-growers, including last month's killing of a leader.
