Overview

• Federal, state and local forces dismantled a training camp in Vista Hermosa, detaining 38 people and seizing a pistol, 19 replica rifles, knives, tactical gear, radios and a simulated explosive device.
• Authorities said the detainees identified themselves as members of La Luz del Mundo and as part of an alleged guard called Jahzer that they described as providing protection for church leaders and properties.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum said investigations continue and directed the Interior Ministry to review the church’s status as a registered religious association, stressing that crimes will be pursued without criminalizing worshippers.
• Political reactions diverged as Morena leader Ricardo Monreal urged the federal prosecutor’s office to act “with harshness,” while Senator Emmanuel Reyes Carmona, a church member, dismissed the arrests over replica weapons as “a caricature.”
• A U.S. federal court in New York issued an arrest order for Silem García Peña, accused of helping shield Naasón Joaquín García, who is serving a sentence in California and faces additional federal charges in New York.
