In Manuel Benavides, Chihuahua, three people were linked to a process after being caught with two rifles, 737 cartridges, and nearly 14 kilograms of marijuana. Additionally, authorities seized 100 ‘ponchallantas’ devices.

In Salamanca, Guanajuato, Mayor César Prieto Gallardo addressed the killing of nine police officers since 2022. While acknowledging slow progress in investigations by the State Attorney General's Office, he denied that these killings have caused mass resignations within the force.
