Mexican Police Disarmament

Mexican security forces were sent the western state of Michoacan to disarm vigilante groups. These groups took control of different towns, in order to try and stomp out the drug cartels. The vigilante army had moved into Nueva Italia where a gun fight had presumed against the Knights Templar drug gang. The same violence is seen all around Mexico. These groups have been told to lay down their arms and come out peacefully, but have denied any sort of the actions. Mexico's interior minister had urged that both sides lay down their arms and make peace. The vigilante group was created in response to the violence, from kidnappings to extortion.
