Sheinbaum: Toyota transfer does not respond to T-MEC

Results of the security strategy

President Claudia Sheinbaum reported that intentional homicides in Mexico were reduced by 48% between September 2024 and June 2026. The daily average went from 86.9 to 45.4 cases, which is equivalent to 41 fewer deaths each day.

“It is a strategy that is giving results, and the objective is to continue reducing homicides, continue reducing robberies, continue reducing extortion,” he declared at the morning conference.

Omar García Harfuch, Secretary of Security, explained that from October 2024 to June 2026, more than 59,500 people were arrested for high-impact crimes. 31,000 firearms and almost 500 tons of drugs were seized, including more than 5 million fentanyl pills. In addition, 2,600 clandestine methamphetamine laboratories were dismantled.

Within the framework of the anti-extortion strategy, 1,674 people were arrested for this crime between July 2025 and June 2026.

Marcela Figueroa, executive secretary of the National Public Security System, pointed out that the daily average of homicides in June 2026 is the lowest since 2015. Eight entities concentrate 54% of the cases: Guanajuato, Baja California, Chihuahua, Sinaloa, State of Mexico, Guerrero, Morelos and Veracruz.

However, 29 states reduced their daily average. The largest falls were recorded in San Luis Potosí (-81.7%), Zacatecas (-61.8%), Quintana Roo (-60.1%), Nayarit (-59.1%), Guanajuato (-50.9%) and Nuevo León (-50.6%).

High-impact crimes in general fell 32%: from 636.6 daily cases in October 2024 to 430.1 in June 2026. In the annual comparison, the reduction is 53% compared to 2018.

Rosa Icela Rodríguez, Secretary of the Interior, reported that in the axis of Attention to Causes, more than 7.3 million services and procedures were delivered, and 1,788 Youth Committees for Transformation were formed.

Sheinbaum reiterated: “There is zero impunity and we work every day for the good of the people of Mexico.”

Morena demands unity in the face of deaths of compatriots

The national president of Morena, Ariadna Montiel Reyes, accused the opposition parties of “bargaining” unity from Mexico in the face of the cases of 17 compatriots who died in the custody of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE).

During a press conference, the Morenoist leader pointed out that the call to close ranks to demand answers from the US government must be above partisan and ideological differences. He considered that it is about the defense of the rights of Mexicans abroad.

Montiel Reyes affirmed that the opposition’s position reflects a lack of commitment to the country. He described it as “petty” that some leaders do not fully support the call for unity made by President Claudia Sheinbaum to address cases of alleged abuses against Mexican migrants.

The Morena leader maintained that the protection of fellow citizens must be a priority issue for all political forces. He called for placing national interests above partisan disputes.

Permanent support from the Women’s Secretariat

The Women’s Secretariat reported that it will continue to provide comprehensive care, advice and psychosocial support services to María Felicia Jiménez, wife of the former director of Petróleos Mexicanos, Víctor Rodríguez Padilla. The support will be maintained if she requests it, within the judicial process she faces for alleged family violence.

In a statement, the agency clarified that any support will be granted with full respect for the will, autonomy and dignity of Dr. Jiménez. She also reiterated her commitment to assisting women who experience situations of violence through specialized protection mechanisms.

Decision not to attend hearing

The statement occurred after María Felicia Jiménez reported that she would not attend the hearing scheduled to ratify the pardon granted to her husband. He argued that he faces a strong media siege and seeks to protect his privacy and that of his children, especially that of his minor son.

The authorities keep open the possibility for the victim to access services when they consider it necessary. The case has generated public attention due to the power links of those involved, although the Secretariat assures that its actions are based on technical and human rights criteria.
