Mexican Mayor Arrested for Alleged CJNG Ties

Mexican authorities arrested Miguel Sánchez Altamirano, the mayor of Juchitán, Oaxaca, and another man, Alberto de la Paz López, on charges of aggravated extortion and crimes against state security. The arrests are part of 'Operación Enjambre,' a federal security strategy targeting collusion between organized crime and municipal officials. Investigations link the mayor to 'Los Cromos,' a criminal group operating in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec region as part of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). The arrests sparked protests and road blockades in Juchitán.
