What backs it

Public Security System chief Marcela Figueroa reported an average of 42.5 homicides per day in July 2026—the lowest monthly average since President Claudia Sheinbaum took office 22 months ago. July was the least violent in over a decade, with homicides down 34.8% compared to July 2025 and 51% compared to September 2024.

Worth noting

Official homicide figures are based on data from state-level Attorney General offices and skepticism exists about accuracy. The article notes some murders may be classified as other crimes. Security Minister García Harfuch acknowledged the job is not finished.
