Seven mayors have been detained in Mexico—regardless of their political party affiliation—highlighted Omar García Harfuch, head of the SSPC, while affirming that there will be no impunity for those with ties to organized crime.

On Wednesday morning, the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch, warned that there would be no impunity for political figures linked to criminal activity.

During the morning press conference held by President Claudia Sheinbaum, the official revealed that, so far during this administration, 85 public servants have been successfully detained. Prominent among those arrested are seven municipal mayors from various jurisdictions.

In a previous interview granted to *La Jornada*, the Secretary emphasized the non-partisan nature of these actions:

“Wherever there are indications and evidence against those who commit crimes—whether they are current or former public officials—they will be investigated and detained. It is also very important for the citizenry to know that this applies regardless of party or political stripe; in these cases, those involved come from every party—from across the entire political spectrum.”

**High-Impact Statistics**

Harfuch asserted that the security strategy has resulted in a 49% reduction in intentional homicides between September 2024 and May 2026. This decline—described by the Secretary as “unprecedented”—is accompanied by the capture of 54,300 individuals for high-impact crimes.

The official report details a significant financial and operational blow dealt to criminal organizations through the seizure of:

* More than 400 tons of narcotics.
* 2,400 destroyed clandestine laboratories.
* Nearly 30,000 seized firearms (78% of U.S. origin).

García Harfuch reiterated that the primary objective is to ensure that “there are fewer criminals on the streets and that peace increases among the population,” while maintaining vigilance over the conduct of public officials at all levels.
