Municipal administration in Ramos Arizpe

Overview

In Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila, local authorities have implemented various administrative and security measures. In late July, a coordinated security operation involving municipal police, the Mexican Army, and the National Guard led to the detention of 28 individuals. Mayor Tomás Gutiérrez Merino noted that this inter-governmental coordination is part of a strategy to improve surveillance and response.

By mid-August, the municipal focus expanded to include tourism promotion and environmental regulation. The local government announced the Ramos Fest 2026 to boost commerce and regional tourism. Additionally, authorities proposed stricter penalties for illegal fishing at the Palo Blanco Dam, including fines and vehicle seizures, following incidents involving prohibited fishing gear.
