The head of government Claudia Sheinbaum announced that high-level meetings will be held with the United States to address issues such as the sending of remittances from Mexican nationals in that country and possible mass deportations of migrants. Sheinbaum expressed her commitment to defending Mexicans living abroad and mentioned that consulates are being strengthened to provide them support.
In a press conference, Sheinbaum's security cabinet reported on the situation of intentional homicides in Mexico, highlighting that the states with the highest incidence are Guanajuato, Baja California, Mexico State, Chihuahua, Jalisco, Guerrero, and Nuevo León. It was also mentioned that there has been a 17.3% decrease in this crime, with an average of 83 homicides per day in 2024.
Regarding the security strategy implemented by Omar García Harfuch, Secretary of Citizen Security, it was reported that more than three thousand people have been arrested for high-impact crimes, and large quantities of drugs and weapons have been seized in various operations. Some arrests of individuals linked to organized crime were highlighted, as well as the dismantling of synthetic drug laboratories in different parts of the country.
Concerning the Sinaloa Livestock Expo 2024, its start was scheduled for November 14 but was canceled to ensure the economic stability of the livestock sector in the region. Despite threats and risky situations, it was assured that the fair will take place with appropriate security measures.
In light of the appointments made by Donald Trump in his cabinet, Sheinbaum expressed her concern about the possible impact on remittances if deportations of Mexican migrants increase.
