Overview
- Federal and state authorities moved 88 inmates to Cefereso No. 15 in Villa Comaltitlán, a transfer security sources said took place Thursday and included alleged members of the 'Los Chapitos' faction.
- Sinaloa authorities separately confirmed that 25 people held on federal charges were moved from the Aguaruto prison in Culiacán and El Castillo in Mazatlán to a federal facility, and said the operation ran without incidents.
- Security reports say the large Chiapas transfer used a Guardia Nacional aircraft that made stops in Culiacán, Los Mochis and Hermosillo before landing in Tapachula, after which inmates were driven under heavy escort to the prison.
- Officials say the moves were ordered by the OADPRS and executed with support from interinstitutional security groups to reorder high‑risk inmates and reduce internal prison threats.
- Local business and social groups in the southern border region have expressed concern that concentrating cartel‑linked detainees could alter regional security dynamics and raise risks for nearby communities.
