Officials report a significant decline in homicides: Thursday's mañanera recapped

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum reported a significant decline in homicides since her government took office on October 1, 2024.
  • Sheinbaum attributed this decline to the new national security strategy, which includes strengthened National Guard presence and coordinated law enforcement efforts.
  • Security Minister Omar García Harfuch highlighted over 20,000 arrests for serious crimes, dismantling of 896 clandestine drug labs, and seizures of 154 tonnes of drugs in seven months.
  • Homicides dropped 24.9% in April 2025 compared to September 2024, with a daily average of 65.3 murders, the lowest April figure since 2016, and 52% occurred in seven states.
  • The data imply that the security strategy has begun reducing violence nationwide, although some states like Guanajuato remain highly affected with 1,260 homicides early this year.
