In late October 2026, Mexican federal and state authorities engaged in a regional dialogue in Hermosillo, Sonora, to address the National Search Strategy. Officials including Secretary of the Interior Rosa Icela Rodríguez and Attorney General Ernestina Godoy Ramos met with search collectives from several northern states. states, including Sinaloa, Chihuahua, Durango, Baja California, and Baja California Sur. These collectives demanded a specialized Prosecutor’s Office, increased budgets, and greater economic support for families. A dispute arose regarding data discrepancies, as search groups noted 204 clandestine graves recorded by state authorities in Sonora during 2025, while the federal Attorney General’s Office reported zero findings. Following this dialogue, security operations intensified in Magdalena de Kino after an armed attack on the Criminal Investigation Ministerial Agency (AMIC) facilities on October 28. The attack killed agent Alberto Guzmán Aguiar. In response, the AMIC, supported by the Secretariat of National Defense, the Secretariat of the Navy, and State Public Security Police, executed search warrants on properties linked to suspects. Three properties were seized, and authorities recovered ammunition during the operations. The attack occurred shortly after the State Attorney General's Office linked two suspects to a separate homicide involving an AMIC group leader.
