  • Authorities will apply the customary security deployment for the Grito in Morelia with additional reinforcements to ensure the ceremony proceeds normally.
  • An interagency meeting on Thursday will bring together SEDENA, the state Public Security Ministry and the Interior Ministry to finalize operations statewide.
