Coordinated Raids in State of Mexico and Michoacán Net Alleged La Chokiza Leader, LFM Plaza Chief, and CJNG Cell

Officials characterize the push as targeting extortion and street‑level drug sales, with legal processing now underway.

Overview

  • Semar confirmed the detention in Ecatepec of Zulma “N”, alias “La Güera”, and Carlos Andrés “N”, both identified as Colombian nationals linked to La Chokiza, with four packets of suspected marijuana seized and transfer to the Ecatepec justice center for legal and migratory review.
  • Security authorities arrested Brayan Antonio García Luna, 27, and Edgar de Jesús Ramos, 25, on the SoyaniquilpanJilotepec road, securing a handgun, 79 doses of crystal meth, a magazine with cartridges, a scale and phones; Brayan is identified as a priority target and alleged La Familia Michoacana plaza chief in five municipalities.
  • Following Brayan’s capture, local outlets reported vehicle burnings, roadblocks and an alleged drone attack in parts of Michoacán; those incidents remain developing and without full official corroboration.
  • In Parácuaro, joint forces detained two suspects after an attack on police, seizing AK‑type rifles, loaded magazines, hundreds of rounds and tactical gear; the detainees were placed under federal authority and no security force casualties were reported.
  • In Santiago Tianguistenco, the FGJEM and State Security detained eight people alleged to belong to a CJNG cell, confiscating narcotics, cash and a stolen motorcycle, with one suspect facing an outstanding homicide warrant.
