00:00Mexican law enforcement agencies were able to completely deactivate the road blockades
00:05caused by criminal groups in several regions of the country following some days of security
00:09operation in the state of Jalisco.
00:11The Security Cabinet has succeeded in ending 100% of the blockades which had obstructed
00:17the main highways in Jalisco and spread to the state of Michoacán.
00:21The death of Nemesio Oseguera, alias El Mencho, leader of one of the mayor drug carters in
00:28Mexico triggered a reaction from an organized crime who confronted Mexican federal forces
00:33in a clash that left more than 30 criminals, killed 70 arrested and one citizen dead.
00:38In this regard, the Secretary of National Defense Ricardo Trevilla Trejo provided an assessment
00:44of the security operation that restored calm among civilians.
00:51In this case, it was the personnel of the Special Forces and of the National Guard's Special
00:59Immediate Response Force who planned the operation.
01:03On that same day, an operational force was organized, comprising three components, a land component
01:14that included personnel from the Joint Official Force, Army Special Forces, the National Guard's
01:20Immediate Special Response Force, as I mentioned.
01:29Also, an airmobile force comprising six helicopters with the Special Force personnel, which would
01:35be hidden to the area of operations to maintain secrecy and thus achieve the element of surprise.
01:42In this context, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum clarified that the collaborative work with
01:47the United States was solely in the area of information exchange, but the operation from
01:52its planning stage was the responsibility of the Mexican federal forces.
01:57The operations, all operations are carried out by federal forces. There is no participation in the
02:07operation by U.S. forces. What there is, is a lot of information sharing, as we have said here several
02:13times. The understanding with the United States is based fundamentally on the exchange of intelligence
02:18information. In this case, there was information provided by the U.S. government, and they even issued
02:24a statement, intelligence, but the entire operation, from its planning onwards, is the responsibility of
02:30federal forces. In this case, the Ministry of National Defense.
