Other MoA event in Mexico on Tue 19th May 2026

A major security operation in Tijuana, Baja California, resulted in the capture of a high-priority target linked to a criminal group, wanted on an arrest warrant for aggravated homicide. Upon arriving at the location, amidst dirt roads and patrol cars guarding the perimeter, federal forces executed the warrant. This blow impacts the structure of the Sinaloa Cartel, a faction vying for control of assets and trafficking routes along this border. During the legal proceedings, five firearms, magazines, ammunition, and an unquantified amount of drugs were seized. The strategic deployment is part of intelligence work aimed at maintaining public order and regional stability. The intervention seeks to strengthen the rule of law in the face of escalating executions in the northern part of the country.
