Sheinbaum Launches Michoacán Peace Plan With Troop Surge and Over 57 Billion Pesos in Investment

The strategy pairs a military 'Paricutín' operation with anti-extortion tools, backed by sustained social spending to stabilize the state.

Overview

  • Sedena will deploy 10,506 Army, Air Force and National Guard personnel under the Paricutín plan to “seal the state,” including 1,980 added inside Michoacán and 4,140 positioned on neighboring borders.
  • The Navy will send 1,781 additional elements with aircraft, ships, intelligence cells and specialized units focused on Lázaro Cárdenas, Aquila and Coahuayana, plus maritime interdiction operations.
  • The federal security cabinet, led by Omar García Harfuch and Gen. Ricardo Trevilla, will visit Uruapan and Morelia this week to supervise the rollout and meet with local authorities and producers.
  • Anti-extortion actions expand with a unified protocol, new regional subsites for complaints, specialized units coordinated with Sedena, Semar and the FGR, and dedicated 089 operators; officials cite 180 extortion arrests since July.
  • The plan spans 12 axes and 100+ actions funded by more than 57 billion pesos, with the state contributing 2.7 billion pesos and the presidency pledging biweekly oversight with monthly public progress reports.
