In the state of Guanajuato, the Public Security Secretariat announced the arrest of three individuals suspected to be affiliated with the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel during a joint operation with state prosecutors. While the identities of the suspects were not disclosed, it was reported that one of them is known as 'El Monedas'. This cartel, founded by José Antonio Yépez, also known as El Marro, has a notorious presence in the Laja-Bajío region.

Following the arrests, narcoblockades erupted in the municipalities of Celaya, Juventino Rosas, Cortazar, and Apaseo El Grande, areas where the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel wields significant influence. The Public Security Secretariat indicated that these blockades were a reaction to the detention of the suspects, as they used firearms to resist law enforcement. The incidents occurred in the vicinity of San Antonio de Los Morales in Juventino Rosas, highlighting the cartel's aggressive tactics in response to law enforcement actions.

This situation reflects the ongoing struggle against organized crime in Mexico, particularly in states like Guanajuato that have experienced significant violence related to drug trafficking and cartel conflicts. The arrest and subsequent reactions from the cartel indicate both the risks faced by law enforcement and the persistent power of criminal organizations in the region, complicating efforts to establish security and stability in affected areas.
