“We were in a security meeting in the municipality of San Quintín when we received the information. At that very moment, we deployed personnel throughout the entire Valle de Mexicali,” the governor said.
The operation was carried out in coordination with Baja California’s Special Security Forces, the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA), the Secretariat of the Navy (SEMAR), and the National Guard.
