An armed attack at a soccer field in Loma de Flores, Salamanca, Guanajuato, on Sunday, January 25, left 11 people dead and between 6 and 12 injured, according to preliminary reports. Authorities attribute the incident to a clash between the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel. Mayor César Prieto requested federal help to address the wave of violence in the region.
Guanajuato authorities dealt a second consecutive blow to the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel by seizing over 55,000 liters of illicit hydrocarbon in properties in Santa Cruz de Juventino Rosas and Villagrán. The operation involved an armed confrontation that injured one officer. Weapons, vehicles, and stolen goods were also confiscated.

During President Claudia Sheinbaum's morning press conference, Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch acknowledged that authorities failed to prevent two recent violent attacks in Guanajuato, including a massacre at a soccer field in Salamanca and an incident at a public park that injured eight minors. However, he stated that such events have decreased compared to the previous administration and highlighted arrests and seizures against organized crime.
Guanajuato's Congress has approved reforms to the Civil Code allowing equal marriage for same-sex couples. The change replaces references to 'man and woman' with 'spouses', aligning with rulings from the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. Lawmakers emphasized it as a human rights advance after years of LGBT+ advocacy.
