The Security Cabinet has arrested Colombian citizens linked to the training and manufacturing of improvised explosive devices in Michoacán. This was reported by the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, during the morning conference on Friday, July 3 in Morelia.

These arrests are part of investigations that identified the entry of several people involved into the country, mainly through the Mexico City International Airport and other air entry points. The National Intelligence Center monitored these movements.

The entry of foreign people by land was also detected, who allegedly collaborate in the training of members of criminal groups to install these devices. García Harfuch pointed out that there is an ongoing investigation to locate the leaders of these networks in Michoacán, including alleged high-level members of the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel.

The head of the SSPC confirmed the participation of citizens from different countries, mainly from Colombia. We are working in coordination with Colombian authorities to strengthen the investigations. In the coming days, the exact number of people arrested related to the manufacture and use of these explosives will be specified.

PRI warns about digital fraud and demands greater action

The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) in the Senate warned about the increase in telephone fraud and extortion in Mexico. He pointed out that these digital crimes affect the assets and security of millions of families.

PRI legislators detailed that criminal organizations have perfected their methods. They use techniques such as phishing, smishing, vishing, cloning of messaging accounts, kidnapping simulations, fake job offers and artificial intelligence to create manipulated audio and videos that facilitate deception.

Given this panorama, the PRI called on federal and state authorities to strengthen prevention, investigation and combat strategies against these behaviors. He emphasized the need to implement more effective measures to protect citizens.

The growing concern for security has led the party to demand a more rigorous approach in the fight against these crimes that affect the tranquility of the population.

Productive integration in North America is key. Mexico maintains its role as the main supplier of fresh fruits and vegetables to the United States. This strengthens regional food security, especially in the agri-food sector.

Looking ahead to the next negotiations, the central issues will be the reduction of tariffs, the defense of the rules of origin and access to agricultural markets. The United States will seek to reduce its trade deficit, while Canada will try to protect its key sectors.
