A public complaint shakes Guadalajara

The streets of Guadalajara witnessed an act of bravery today, when an anonymous tarp appeared on a pedestrian bridge near Avenida Vallarta and Periférico. This message, addressed to the Secretary of Security, Omar García Harfuch, revealed alleged identities of members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) linked to the Izaguirre ranch case. Although the authorship remains a mystery, the content has raised alarms about the network of criminal operations in the region.

The names behind the poster

The complaint pointed out Gerardo Botello Rosales, alias “El Cachas”, and his sister Yadira Botello Rosales, as key figures in this network. According to the text, Yadira was in charge of administering resources to people deprived of their liberty at the ranch, while other hitmen, such as Marcos “El Sobrino” and Gustavo Botello, executed those who tried to escape. In addition, it was mentioned that “El Cachas” used gas stations in Guadalajara to launder money and recruited victims at the Nueva Bus Station.

But this is not all: the canvas also revealed unpublished information about “El Cachas”, such as his release from prison in June 2023 and his criminal history, which includes homicides, kidnappings and extortion. It was even highlighted that he had an extradition order to the United States for a crime committed in 2002. How did you get to this point? According to federal reports, he began stealing hydrocarbons in Guanajuato in 2006 and, by 2016, he was already a regional head of the CJNG.

A dark past and powerful connections

Journalistic records link “El Cachas” with Rosalinda González Valencia, mother of the children of “El Mencho”, leader of the CJNG. During his capture in 2018, he was identified as one of the main cartel operators in Guanajuato and Michoacán. Authorities held him responsible for multiple homicides against police officers and rivals, cementing his reputation as a lethal actor in organized crime.

Today, that same figure is once again in the eye of the hurricane. The tarp included photographs of him and his sister, and according to witnesses, it was placed by two subjects who fled in a taxi. Who are they? What motivated you to act? The questions remain open, but one thing is clear: this act of citizen complaint has put crucial information on the table for investigations.

Can you imagine the courage it takes to challenge a group like the CJNG? This banner not only exposes names, but challenges impunity. If you have relevant information, share this note to keep the conversation about security in Mexico alive. Together we can be part of the change. Explore more stories like this on our portal!

First public intervention

Roberto Lazzeri participated this Wednesday in his first public event as Mexican ambassador to the United States. It was during an event organized by Donald Trump on the National Mall for the 250th anniversary of American independence.

There he heard the message from President Trump, who highlighted a 66% reduction in the flow of fentanyl into his country. Lazzeri pointed out that these results strengthen bilateral security cooperation, promoted by President Claudia Sheinbaum based on respect for sovereignty and coordination.

A 35% decrease in overdose deaths in the United States was also mentioned, as well as the seizure of nearly 30,000 firearms. The ambassador attributed these figures to the joint work between both nations.

Trump used the event to refer to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be played in North America. Lazzeri assured that Mexico contributes to the project with actions in security, connectivity and tourism, with an estimated economic benefit of more than 18 billion pesos.

The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (CRT) postponed the mandatory registration of mobile lines. The deadline, scheduled for June 30, was extended to facilitate the process for millions of users.

New registration calendar

The new term applies only to unregistered prepaid lines. It will be staggered according to the last digit of the number. The dates range from August 15 to December 31, 2026.

So far, more than 63 million lines are registered: 40.2 million prepaid and 22.8 million postpaid. Millions are still missing.

Unregistered lines will be suspended by telephone companies within a period of up to 72 hours. During that time they will only be able to call emergencies, citizen services and their operator. Service is restored upon completion of registration.

Mexico closed 2025 with around 161.6 million active mobile lines, a penetration of more than 124% of the population. Additionally, if a line is used to commit a crime, authorities may request information directly from companies.

Achievements of the 2025-2026 school year

The Secretary of Public Education, Mario Delgado, presented the results of the 2025-2026 school year. Nearly a million teachers participated permanently in the School Technical Councils (CTE). The federal government allocated 23 billion pesos for works and equipment in 72 thousand schools.

“Looking back is looking at what we are and what strengthens us: a constant conversation between authorities and educational personnel,” said Delgado during the Eighth Ordinary Session of the CTE.

The CTEs were consolidated as learning communities to improve teaching, the official highlighted. In terms of support, the Rita Cetina Scholarship benefited 10 million public primary school students. In addition, eight million girls and boys received free comprehensive care through the Live Healthy, Live Happy strategy.

Investment and reforms

Delgado reported that 23 billion pesos were channeled through the School is Ours program and the Participatory Administration School Committees. The resources were used in infrastructure, works and equipment in Basic Education, Higher Secondary and special modalities schools.

In labor matters, rights were recovered for teachers: salary increases, creation of the Pension Fund for Wellbeing and modifications to stop the increase in the retirement age. The USICAMM will disappear to make way for a new model that guarantees transparency and eliminates influence, nepotism and the sale of positions.

Other actions

The national health strategy valued 10.7 million students in 82 thousand primary schools (96% of enrollment). The Mundialito Escolar 2026, linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, brought together more than 1.1 million students. The finals were held at the University Olympic Stadium.

The National Campaign for Peace and against Addictions “Stay away from drugs. Choose to be happy” integrated artistic and sports activities. More than six million people participated in the National Days, and 25 million in the Reading Marathons.

Finally, the SEP published an agreement to eradicate abuse in basic education, strengthening the prevention of school violence.
