Avocados and Arms Trafficking, the Criminal Combination Suffocating Michoacán
Linda fled her home in Ixtaro, Michoacán, due to threats from a cartel after her brother, Willie, a retired soldier, was killed by the group. The criminal organization Pueblos Unidos took control of the town, exploiting local avocado producers by selling them overpriced weapons. The region, rich in avocado production, has become a battleground for various cartels, including Los Viagras and Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación. The arms trafficking into Mexico, facilitated by lax border controls and illegal networks, exacerbates the violence. The Mexican government and organizations like MUCD are struggling to manage the proliferation of illegal arms, which significantly contributes to the displacement and violence in the region.

The ghost towns created by the drug cartels in Mexico
San Luis de la Loma, a small town in Guerrero, Mexico, has been abandoned due to the control sought by the drug cartel Los Caballeros Templarios, leading to a mass exodus of residents. Local entrepreneur and activist Leopoldo Soberanis, under government protection due to threats, describes the economic paralysis and the dire situation of those who had to flee, with many now begging in the streets. The cartel's presence since mid-2010 has eradicated the local economy, including the dairy production which dropped from 10,000 liters a day to zero. The Mexican Army has pushed the cartel into higher parts of the Sierra Madre del Sur but is also accused of committing abuses, including the alleged torture and killing of a 16-year-old and five other locals, which the army attributes to a confrontation with a local gang.

Mexican Undersecretary Investigating Pegasus Spyware Also a Victim
Alejandro Encinas, Mexico's Undersecretary for Human Rights, who was investigating abuses by the Mexican Army using NSO Group's Pegasus spyware, was himself targeted by the software. The New York Times revealed that Encinas, a critic of the army and a long-time ally of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, had his phone infected multiple times. The Mexican Attorney General's office is pursuing legal action against four former police officers for illegal purchase and use of Pegasus to spy on civilians and for accepting bribes. The army, the only entity authorized to use Pegasus, is implicated in the worst human rights violation in recent Mexican history—the disappearance of 43 students in 2014. NSO Group, on a U.S. blacklist for enabling repression, is investigating the misuse of Pegasus in Mexico. The case highlights issues of corruption, abuse of power, and the lack of democratic control over military surveillance.

Mexico lets U.S., U.N. officials observe opium poppy eradication for first time in a decade
Mexico's army has allowed the United States and the United Nations to observe its opium poppy eradication efforts for the first time in over a decade. This move is seen as a step towards greater cooperation in combating heroin trafficking. The Mexican army aims to gain recognition for its efforts and address U.S. concerns about the quality of its data and the success of its eradication program. The U.S. military, U.N., and embassy officials were flown into Mexico's heroin-producing regions to witness the destruction of opium fields. The army is also adopting UNODC technology to improve real-time data reporting on eradication. These developments occur amidst high-level talks between Mexico and the Trump administration on curbing the flow of heroin and weapons across the border. The Mexican army's increased openness to collaboration marks a significant shift, given its historical distrust of the U.S. and concerns over human rights issues related to its drug war involvement.
