On Monday, Mexican security forces intercepted two tractor-trailers near the northern border with Texas, seizing a cache of 210 high-powered firearms. The bust was the result of a joint operation led by the Federal Attorney General's Office, the Criminal Investigation Agency, and various Mexican defense and security agencies. Three suspects were detained, transported from Texas with the intention of smuggling the arsenal into Mexico.
This operation came after federal authorities seized over 30,000 weapons since President Claudia Sheinbaum's inauguration in October 2024. President Sheinbaum emphasized the need for joint efforts to curb the flow of weapons from the United States to Mexico. The Mexican government has recently urged the U.S. government to stop the illicit movement of firearms across their shared border.
