Overview
- National data show the daily average of intentional homicides fell from 86.9 in September 2024 to 54.7 in November 2025, a 37% drop equal to 32 fewer killings per day, with seven states accounting for 51% of cases this year.
- Since October 2024 authorities have detained about 38,700 suspects for high‑impact crimes, seized 311 tonnes of drugs including more than 4 million fentanyl pills, confiscated 20,169 firearms and dismantled roughly 1,760 meth labs.
- Security briefings detail Dec. 5–7 raids in Michoacán, Sinaloa and Sonora that officials estimate inflicted at least 3.1 billion pesos in economic losses on criminal groups, including a Michoacán lab valued at about 2.53 billion pesos and a Sonora truck seizure with meth and fentanyl.
- SESNSP reports broad declines in other high‑impact crimes while extortion increased 23.1%, with officials citing a national anti‑extortion drive started in July that cut recent complaints by about 20% and enabled more than 77,000 preventive interventions via the 089 line.
- Authorities say the Coahuayana, Michoacán car‑bomb was reclassified from terrorism to organized‑crime violence, with officials attributing it to a clash between rival groups and the attorney general expected to explain the change.
