Mexico's Senate approves constitutional reform, transferring National Guard control to military.

Mexico's Senate has approved a constitutional reform transferring control of the National Guard to the military, despite significant criticism over increased militarization. Originally established as a civilian force in 2019, this decision follows a previous attempt by President López Obrador that was ruled unconstitutional. Critics, including human rights organizations, warn this shift undermines accountability and could exacerbate violence linked to organized crime.
