In the first 15 months of President Claudia Sheinbaum's term, intentional homicides in Mexico have decreased by 40%. Tens of thousands of people have been arrested and hundreds of tons of drugs have been seized. This marks significant progress in one of the world's most violent nations.

Homicides in Mexico fell by 40% between September 2024 and December 2025, the first 15 months of President Claudia Sheinbaum's term. During this period, 38,700 people have been arrested for high-impact crimes and over 311 tons of drugs have been seized, the Security Cabinet reported on Tuesday with preliminary figures. "From September 2024 to December 2025, intentional homicides dropped by 40%.

The daily average of murders in Mexico, one of the world's most violent countries, decreased from 86.9 to 52.4 between September 2024, the last month of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (2018-2024), and December 2025. This means 34 fewer homicides each day, noted the Mexican head of state. Information to be updated...
