Context

[edit]

Michoacán is located in the center-western part of Mexico, and is the country's sixteenth largest state. It accounts for 3% of Mexico's national territory. Michoacán is further divided into 113 municipios, which is a term used for subnational entities. Michoacán is bordered by several states, and also has a 132-mile shoreline on the Pacific Ocean. [17].

Mexico's president, Felipe Calderón, was born in Michoacán. He declared war on the country's drug traffickers, when he took office in 2006. Calderón’s first act was to send sixty-five hundred soldiers and federal police into Michoacán. Fifty thousand soldiers and twenty thousand federal police are now in the streets and countryside, but the bloodshed and disorder have grown worse. More than twenty-three thousand people have died in Mexico’s drug war since Calderón’s declaration—more than three thousand so far this year. [18]

One of Michoacán's most prevalent crim syndicates is known as La Familia Michoacana. This group of ruthless cartel members has become inscreasingly known as Michoacán's "first law." The state's police department reports to La Familia, as well as many other legitimate businesses. According to a recent study, 85% of legitimate businesses in Michoacán are somehow connected to La Familia, most commonly due to a form of debt. [19]
