How does the Mexican government treat gangs?

Start a military operation

Because of the long border between the United States and Mexico and the active drug trade, the gang forces have a deep living soil. In Mexico, street violence, hostage-taking, shooting at the police and scuffle between police and bandits are all common crimes, which have seriously affected Mexico's tourism, economic development and even its international image. Mexican society generally believes that the corruption and inaction of the police department are the main reasons for the deterioration of social security. At the end of 2006, Calderon held high his campaign promise of "completely improving social order" and was sent to the presidency by voters. In solving the increasingly serious problem of "cracking down on evil", the biggest feature of Calderon's government is the use of troops.

Over the years, Mexico has regarded "cracking down on evil" as a military action, sending troops to cities where violent crimes are rampant and setting up special commandos to "crack down on evil". By the beginning of 20 10, there were as many as 50,000 soldiers in Mexico who participated in "cracking down on evil". In February 2009, the military killed beltran Leva, the leader of one of Mexico's largest drug trafficking gangs, which is considered to be one of the most successful anti-drug operations since Calderon took office.

Of course, the Mexican government's "crackdown" triggered the mob's crazy revenge on the army and civilians. For Mexico, if the "crackdown" cannot be sustained, the continued retaliation of drug traffickers may put the whole country in danger.

By the end of 20 15, Mexico was at war, but its opponents were gangsters. Northern Mexico is almost in anarchy. It is said that gangs control 90% of Tamaulipas, and the guerrilla warfare between thugs and government forces or police has never stopped.
