The Mexican Security Cabinet reported coordinated security operations in seven states on August 31, 2026, as part of the National Security Strategy. ^[1] Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum accused the United States of attempting to generate internal divisions within Mexico's security cabinet as part of a strategy to weaken governments that defend their sovereignty. ^[2] In Baja California, National Guard elements detained two individuals with arrest warrants for crimes against health and organized crime. ^[3] In Nuevo León, FGR and SSPC elements detained one person, seized 14 packages of cocaine hidden in car batteries, and a vehicle. ^[4] In Sinaloa, Mexican Army, National Guard, and State Police raided a property, detaining nine people including five foreigners and a minor, and seizing nine long guns, 2,620 cartridges, five kilos of marijuana, and tactical vests. ^[5] Sheinbaum asserted that attempts to divide the cabinet fail due to the strong coordination and unity existing between the institutions responsible for national security and the rest of the federal cabinet. ^[6] Sheinbaum noted that the 51% reduction in homicides would not be possible without the joint work of the Security Cabinet and the Attorney General's Office. ^[7] Sheinbaum stated that these interference tactics are not new and involve praising some officials while criticizing others to create discord within the federal security cabinet. ^[8]
