Mexico City Links 18 to Protest Violence as Prosecutors Target ‘Black Bloc’ Leaders

Prosecutors say they have mapped alleged ‘black bloc’ leaders, with five arrest warrants pending.

Overview

  • After a fresh hearing, the tally in Mexico City stands at 18 people linked to proceedings over the Nov. 15 Generación Z march, with 16 released under measures and two held in preventive detention.
  • The latest five were linked for injuries and theft of police radios; four will continue their cases in freedom and one remains jailed after failing to show a local address.
  • Two defendants initially accused of attempted homicide had their charges reclassified to resistance of authorities, enabling release, while one person still faces the attempted‑homicide count.
  • The FGJ reports 38 open case files tied to a recurring violent cohort, says it has identified 31 suspects, and notes five unserved arrest warrants as investigators also cite criminal gangs exploiting marches for robberies.
  • A PAN regional delegate, Alberto González Mancilla, is among those processed in Mexico City for resistance and remains free, and in Guadalajara a judge linked eight and freed 32 of 40 detainees as Governor Pablo Lemus endorsed the ruling and officials acknowledged police misconduct.
