- - President Claudia Sheinbaum published the Programa Sectorial de Seguridad y Protección Ciudadana 2025–2030 in the Diario Oficial, making the SSPC under Omar García Harfuch responsible for implementation and operations.
- - The program is mandatory for all federal agencies, with compliance and budget use monitored by the Finance Ministry and the Anticorruption and Good Government Secretariat.
- - Government figures for the first 14 months cite nearly 39,000 arrests for violent crimes, 1,760 drug labs destroyed, 20,000 weapons seized, homicides down 22%, and robberies with violence down 15%.
- - Reporting by The New York Times describes Harfuch as the main U.S. security interlocutor and says intelligence sharing has expanded, with Harfuch and Sheinbaum emphasizing information exchange rather than U.S. operations in Mexico.
- - Analysts warn of entrenched cartel power and displacement effects as official data show increases in extortion (+3%), kidnappings (+3%), and disappearances (+9%), with CJNG seen gaining space when rivals are weakened.
