Overview
- The Fiscalía General de Justicia del Estado de México executed an arrest warrant for Misael “N” known as “Borregas” with support from the Navy and Ecatepec municipal police and transferred him to the Chiconautla penitentiary for judicial review.
- Officials say Borregas is a key operator linked to organizations using union or service façades, including USON, Sindicato 25 de Marzo and local pipero groups, and faces investigations for extortion, kidnapping, robbery with violence and despojo.
- The capture raises the Operativo Restitución tally to 44 priority detainees since the campaign began in 2025 and comes after authorities say they have secured nearly 2,000 assets and returned more than 1,000 to their lawful owners.
- Investigators continue to seek principal figures who remain at large, including Guillermo “N,” described as a USON leader and the detained man’s brother, keeping prosecutions and enforcement activity active across the Valle de México.
- Residents and businesses targeted by these groups report tactics such as blocking roads with water tankers, charging illegal fees and forcibly occupying land, and authorities say continued arrests and asset seizures aim to restore services and property rights.
