- Mexico City security chief Pablo Vázquez reported about 100 police injured, including 40 hospitalized, roughly 20 civilians hurt, 20 arrests and 20 administrative detentions.
- Clashes erupted when a hooded subgroup toppled metal barriers at the National Palace, prompting riot police to deploy tear gas and other crowd-control measures.
- The mobilization drew energy from anger over the November 1 assassination of Uruapan Mayor Carlos Manzo, with mourners wearing his trademark straw hats and chanting tributes.
