TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARThe BBC:
Mexico’s government is sending 5,500 police and military personnel to Michoacan state, which has seen a surge in violence linked to drug cartels.
Twenty police officers and troops have been killed in the state in suspected revenge attacks for the arrest of an alleged cartel boss last weekend.
Since 2006, more than 45,000 troops and tens of thousands of police have been deployed to tackle Mexican drug gangs.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide.
When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
