Mexicali

Two state police officers in Mexicali, Baja California, were killed in separate attacks, which authorities suspect are retaliatory actions linked to operations against the Los Rusos criminal group, a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel. The officers were off duty during the attacks, and the incidents followed recent security operations that resulted in the death of a high-ranking criminal and arrests.

President Claudia Sheinbaum and Baja California Governor Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda inaugurated the González Ortega Combined-Cycle Power Plant, operated by the Federal Electricity Commission, which aims to reduce annual CO2 emissions by 3.23 million tonnes and lower energy bills. The project is part of a 73.9 billion peso federal investment in Baja California’s electrical grid, alongside a 1.485 billion peso electricity subsidy for over 1.37 million residents in Mexicali and San Felipe.
