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.
On January 18, 2026, Mexican authorities detained Iván Valerio Sainz Salazar, alias 'El Mantecas', a suspected operator for the Sinaloa Cartel directly linked to Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar, known as El Chapito. The arrest took place during a military operation in the mountains of Mocorito, Sinaloa, and was confirmed through documents leaked in the Guacamaya Leaks.
