Security coordination in Coahuila

Overview

An armed confrontation in Candela, Coahuila, near the Nuevo León border resulted in the deaths of state police officer Mauro Flores Rodríguez and two armed civilians. During the clash, authorities seized two long weapons, a vehicle, and spike strips.

In response to the violence, the Mexican Army, National Guard, and Navy have reinforced surveillance in border regions connecting Coahuila to Nuevo León, Chihuahua, and Tamaulipas.

Governor Manolo Jiménez Salinas has emphasized the necessity of permanent coordination between state and federal government levels to maintain peace. Following the incident, the Governor met with Federal Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch to reaffirm security models in cities such as Saltillo and Piedras Negras, specifically targeting organized crime activities like extortion and fuel theft. Local business leaders, including the president of the Mexican Chamber of the Construction Industry in Monclova, have expressed support for these state security strategies, noting that strategic shielding of state entrances provides tranquility for productive activities.
