SEATTLE - Almost two months since Claudia Sheinbaum replaced Andrés Manuel López Obrador as Mexican president, the new administration has also brought with it new ways to crackdown criminal organizations that have turned the country into a country where impunity reigns.
As one of her first decrees when sworn in in October, Sheinbaum launched a strategy that singled out 10 municipalities that are key for cartels in their drug enterprise. Titled "Estrategia de Seguridad de los Primeros 100 días," or Security Strategy for the First 100 Days, the strategy aims to neutralize criminal networks as well as capturing generators of violence in those regions.
