The Mexican government says it has sent 1,200 more troops to the cartel-dominated western state of Michoacan after a weekend of violence
FILE - A worker unloads a truck-full of Mexican limes at a citrus packing plant in La Ruana, in the state of Michoacan, Mexico, Nov. 6, 2023. The government of Michoacan state said Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2023, that it has launched a criminal investigation into the extortion of lime growers by a local drug cartel in the western Mexican state. The Mexican government said Monday it sent 1,200 more troops to the cartel-dominated western state of Michoacan after a weekend of violence.
Soldiers are stationed in every Mexican state, but the army did not say how many already were in Michoacan before the weekend deployment. Lime growers and farmers in the township of Buenavista complained in recent weeks of widespread drug cartel extortion, and in Apatzingan most basic goods cost almost double their normal price because the cartels takes a slice of most purchases.
