"One of the fundamental pillars of the Michoacan Plan for Peace and Justice is the reinforcement of the 10,300-strong military and national guard presence. Sheinbaum said that nearly 2,000 additional security forces would be sent to the state on Monday under the plan. The mission of the federal forces is to crack down on criminal groups, combat extortion and dismantle drug labs and training camps, officials said at the press conference."
""In recent days, we have seen pain and outrage over the cowardly murder of the mayor of Uruapan. We share that sentiment. His cowardly murder hurts all of Michoacan and the entire country," Sheinbaum said while presenting the plan with her cabinet. Carlos Manzo, mayor of the city of Uruapan in Michoacan, was killed at a public event during Day of the Dead celebrations on November 1. He had just handed his child to someone else when he was shot seven times by a hooded gunman."
"The plan also includes social actions, such as scholarships for students and encouraging young people to participate in sports in order to prevent them from being recruited by crime. The government will also bolster resources in sectors such as agriculture and tourism. It would see the investment of 57 billion pesos ($3.10 billion, 2.68 billion), Sheinbaum said."
President Claudia Sheinbaum announced reinforcement of federal forces and official presence in Michoacan, sending nearly 2,000 additional military and National Guard personnel to join the existing 10,300. The federal mission will target criminal groups, combat extortion and dismantle drug labs and training camps. The plan pairs security measures with social actions including scholarships and youth sports programs to reduce recruitment by crime, and bolsters agriculture and tourism resources.

The announcement followed the murder of Uruapan mayor Carlos Manzo, who was shot during Day of the Dead, sparking protests.
