Mexico is seeking to combat crime through a different approach compared to previous administrations. On Jan. 10, President Claudia Sheinbaum officially launched a campaign that seeks to crack down the number of weapons flooding the country's streets.
Although the scheme has existed in Mexico City since 2019, when Sheinbaum served as Head of Government, it will now be expanded nationwide and will be carried out by the defense, interior and public safety ministries along with the support from Mexican religious authorities.
