Sheinbaum to Take Security Cabinet Sessions to High-Crime States in 2026

She framed the shift as an on-the-ground push against organized crime, with press briefings to follow her visits.

Overview

  • Beginning next year, meetings of the federal Security Cabinet will be held in priority states, with some morning press conferences staged locally on Thursdays or Fridays and detailed schedules to be announced.
  • Sheinbaum identified public security tied to organized crime as the country’s chief problem and positioned the move as a way to tighten oversight and coordination in the field.
  • The government has expanded the Security Ministry’s authority to conduct public‑security investigations and intelligence work distinct from national security tasks to strengthen case building and coordination.
  • Officials indicated that site selection will reflect homicide data from the national public security system, which shows concentrations in states such as Guanajuato, Chihuahua, Baja California, Sinaloa, Morelos, the State of Mexico and Sonora.
  • Sheinbaum also said hospitals and highways will be inaugurated in January, with reports planned next year on increasing public investment as part of her economic agenda.
