The Madres en Resistencia collective has maintained a blockade on the Libramiento Norte Oriente in Tuxtla Guterrez, Chiapas, for several days. The group is demanding justice regarding cases of femicide, homicide, and forced disappearance.

On November 5, a driver was detained by the Chiapas State Attorney General's Office after crashing a pickup truck into the protest site. Authorities reported the driver performed an improper maneuver, striking branches and debris used to mark the blockade. State Attorney General Jorge Luis Llaven criticized the road closure but offered a dialogue table to the collective.

By November 9, the Centro Empresarial de Chiapas called for the reopening of the bypass to allow for orderly vehicle transit. While expressing solidarity with the families, the business group urged the State Attorney General's Office to conduct effective investigations and establish formal dialogue to provide transparent communication regarding missing persons.
