SAA event in Mexico on Wed 6th May 2026

During a joint operation by the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection, the National Guard, and the Attorney General's Office, with support from the National Intelligence Center and coordination from the Government of Morelos, a high-priority target was arrested along with four other alleged members of a criminal cell operating in various municipalities of the state. In the operation, one assailant was killed after resisting the authorities' intervention, while two members of the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection were wounded and taken to receive specialized medical attention. Among those arrested are Rodolfo “N,” alias “Don Ramón,” identified as the leader of “Los Linos,” and Carlos “N,” identified as one of his main operatives. This criminal group is linked to extortion, drug dealing, homicide, and vehicle theft, as well as a drug trafficking network destined for the United States, with routes including San Antonio, El Paso, Atlanta, and North Carolina. In Morelos, these types of criminal organizations have been engaged in disputes for territorial control in a state plagued by violence in regions like Cuernavaca and Cuautla. Authorities are continuing their investigations to completely dismantle the cell and trace its operational and financial ties in both countries.
