Deep dives
Mexico's Hug's Not Bullet Crime Policy
Mexico's Hug's Not Bullet crime policy aimed at reducing gang violence by emphasizing public aid over policing has led to increased control of towns and families by drug cartels. Under President Lopez Obrador, there have been fewer cartel arrests and interdictions, resulting in a rise in murder rates, including government officials. The cartels' expansion despite fewer arrests raises concerns over the policy's success.
