Hit to huachicol: they secure more than a million liters in NL

They seize more than a million liters of illegal fuel on a property in the metropolitan area.

Operational in the metropolitan area of Monterrey

Federal authorities seized more than one million liters of fuel of illicit origin during a search of a property in the municipality. The operation was coordinated between the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), the Mexican Army and the National Guard.

At the site, located on the Alfonso Martínez Domínguez bypass, the agents located approximately 671 thousand liters of possible hydrocarbon. They also found 400 thousand liters of a black and yellow liquid, which is already being analyzed in laboratories to determine its composition.

In addition to the fuel, logistical equipment for its transportation was seized. Among the insured are tractor trucks, tank trucks, Frac Tank type units, Dolly equipment, about 409 cubitanks, vertical storage silos, motor pumps and power generating plants. All the material was in a mega property used by criminal networks.

Second relevant seizure of the month

This insurance is the second most important in the entity during May. At the beginning of the month, the state FGR reported another operation where 184 thousand liters of hydrocarbons were seized and a fuel trafficking network in the Monterrey area was dismantled.

The authorities indicated that these results come from strategic intelligence work. The blow to the illegal fuel market directly affects the operations of the organizations that benefit from huachicol in the region.

Court analyzes whether a judge can order a Truth Commission in Ayotzinapa

The SCJN will review whether a judge can create a Truth Commission in the Ayotzinapa case.

Unanimous decision of the Plenary Session

The Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) agreed unanimously by eight votes to attract an extraordinary review resource. The objective: to determine if a judge can order the creation of a Truth Commission as an exceptional investigative mechanism within an amparo trial related to the Ayotzinapa case.

The Plenary will evaluate whether this judicial power violates principles such as the division of powers or the relativity of sentences. A minister will prepare the draft resolution that will be discussed later.

Excuse due to conflict of interest

Minister Sara Irene Herrerías Guerra excused herself from participating in the analysis and resolution. He argued a conflict of interest for having previously headed the unit of the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic in charge of investigating the Ayotzinapa case.

In addition, the Court attracted four appeals linked to the 2018 ruling that rejected the so-called “historical truth” about the disappearance of the 43 normalistas. That ruling ordered the investigation to be reinstated through the creation of a Commission for Investigation and Truth in the Iguala case.

Reactions of organizations

The Miguel Agustín Pro Juárez Human Rights Center questioned the decision. He considers that it reopens the debate on a key resolution for clarifying the case. The organization recalled that, almost 12 years after the disappearance of the students, pending issues persist, such as access to relevant military information and progress in extraditions essential for the investigation.

Mexico records the day with the fewest homicides in eight years

25 deaths in one day: the lowest number in eight years in Mexico.

Day with the least deprivation of life since 2018

Monday, July 6, 2026, became the day with the fewest deaths due to intentional homicide in Mexico during the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum and in the last eight years. The Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System (SESNSP) counted only 25 victims.

Fourteen states did not report any intentional homicide that day. The figure exceeds the minimum recorded during the previous administration, which was 39 victims on January 20, 2022.

Where did the homicides occur?

52% of the cases were concentrated in six entities: Michoacán (3), Sinaloa, Puebla, Tabasco, Chiapas and Morelos (2 each). The rest was distributed in other regions.

The report shows other days with low rates in 2026: 28 victims on June 7 and July 3; 29 on May 15; 31 on various dates in February, April and May. Also on March 21, 2026 and September 26, 2025, 32 deaths were reported, figures that are now exceeded.

Security specialists warn that a single day does not reflect a permanent trend. The evaluation should be based on monthly and annual averages to measure structural changes in violence.
