In the wake of violent incidents sparked by the killing of a high-profile criminal leader in Jalisco, security forces in Baja California have ramped up operations across the state’s roadways.

The Baja California Special Security Forces have deployed enhanced surveillance in multiple municipalities and along key highway corridors to prevent further unrest.

State authorities emphasized they are working in close coordination with federal agencies, including the Secretariat of National Defense and the Secretariat of the Navy, maintaining real-time information sharing and rapid-response protocols to keep the situation under control.

Citizens are urged to remain calm, stay alert to official updates, and report any suspicious or dangerous activity immediately by dialing the emergency number 9-1-1.

As a preventive measure, residents are strongly advised to refrain from non-essential travel on state highways. Truck drivers and cargo transport operators have been asked to remain at their dispatch points or rest stops until further notice.

In addition to highway patrols, security forces have increased their presence in commercial zones and convenience stores following reports of scattered incidents.

Furthermore, state authorities are utilizing drones, video surveillance, and ground patrols to ensure a swift and coordinated response across the region both on the ground and from the air.
