Daily homicide rate drops to 11-year low: Tuesday’s mañanera recapped

Mexico's daily homicide rate dropped to a 12-year low in June 2026, with 45.4 homicides per day, a 48% decline from September 2024. The first half of 2026 saw a 30.1% year-over-year decrease in homicides, while 59,582 arrests and nearly 499 tonnes of drugs were seized since October 2024. President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected claims of a World Cup-related cartel truce as the cause, emphasizing a sustained decline linked to government security strategies.
