National Guard troops and state police officers
including SWAT team members and police in riot gear

The overwhelming show of force prevented any potential rescues and escape attempts and resulted in zero violence
Loya was joined by two colonels with the Mexican army and the Mexican National Guard and a retired general who serves as the undersecretary for state prisons
The mass transfer was done to maintain peace and security within state prison walls while also helping reduce homicides on the streets

about five or six hours east of Mexico City
we watch the blinking lights of shrimp and fish boats in the farthest distance
all we wanted was especially satisfying seafood
embracing all comers and proposing excellent food and endless dancing into the night on the city’s street corners
It’s been more than five years since we’ve visited
mad men shout in city plazas and are shushed by waiters fearing they will lose their few remaining customers
accelerated ferociously under former President Felipe Calderón’s regime
very effectively exploded the body count and human harm while affecting the drug trade itself in no way whatsoever
except for clearing the path for some cartels and taking out the leaders of others more inconvenient to particular politicians
Veracruz has taken more than its share in this quixotic venture to rid the world of vice
and one really just wants to hug your neighbor thinking about it
The Port of Veracruz prides itself on having heroically defended Mexico four times in less than 200 years against its enemies
troops guided by pre-CIA functionaries muscled their way into this port town with bombs and weaponry
as the dead piled up in city streets – to the tune of Jack London’s reports to Collier’s
which skillfully built a moral defense for the invasion back home
the war on drugs has left the dead piled – again – in too many places and again without reason
But this isn’t to say there isn’t a song in the chest
This isn’t to say a fish can’t be fried to make one’s day
we notice how choice is a many-splendored thing and to happen upon a comfortable dining establishment is a reward on storied streets
rice and some greenery served with hibiscus-infused water
A friend pops the lid off of his frosty Coca-Cola in a glass bottle
Two industrial-sized plates at the center of the table hide handmade corn tortillas still hot to the touch
and the table is set with an especially dark-hued
We were never fans of fried chicken growing up
But we’ll be damned if this isn’t just like blackened jerk chicken
it reminds us of pulling over in Alabama and eating a fried fish with folks under trees and near a river
The fried mojarra is served with crisscross cuts
making it easy to pull the charred flesh off the bone
– meaning 40 pesos for two shots of Smirnoff all night. But that’s not important
The setup is simple: three sets of comida corrida (blue-plate specials with soup
main course and water built into it) at 35
50 and 65 pesos – but be prepared for something not being available
Waiting for our meal on one of the three times we went there
A dizzy man we thought was the owner pointed us the way to the apparently longest-serving waiter
who was eager to tell us what he knew about the place
starting in the building across the street
then moving a bit uptown before coming back to the more trafficked corner of Landero y Coss and Aquiles Serdan
The roof caved in on the first place across the street
It’s strange to think that anything is new with these buildings – most look like a museum
This is the town where Cortés set foot in Mexico
There’s a jukebox – rockola in Mexi – then the bottles of toritos – a popular style of alcoholic beverage
like a fermented milkshake with various flavors
We recommend the staff at the midday shift
the simple things like pasta soup are fresh-cooked
Working-class men pour in as night falls for their evening drink

Continued activity by the Popocatépetl volcano prompted the suspension of operations at the Puebla airport on Wednesday morning
The 7 a.m. closure of Hermanos Serdán International Airport was “due to the presence of volcanic ash over the airport,” Viva Aerobus noted on its website.
— Webcams de México (@webcamsdemexico) February 27, 2024
The action was first announced by Mexico’s civil protection authorities, who noted on their X social media account that “the fall of ash affects the visibility of the aircraft.”
the National Civil Protection Coordination (CNPC) stated Popocatépetl had experienced 13 exhalations and 1,398 minutes of tremor over the previous 24 hours
952 minutes of tremor and one volcano-tectonic earthquake
according to data from the National Center for Disaster Prevention (Cenapred)
CNPC noted that officials were maintaining a Phase 2 Yellow Alert
asking people to “respect the exclusion radius of 12 km.”
Popocatépetl, one of Mexico’s most active volcanoes, released a large plume last week and has remained at least semi-active over the last eight days
a column of smoke was seen blowing to the north-northwest
the volcano also known as “el Popo” or “Don Goyo,” released more fumaroles
and ash fell in several Mexico City boroughs
The 5,393-meter peak (Mexico’s second highest behind Citlaltépetl
aka Pico de Orizaba) is located on the borders of the states of México
its name means “Smoking Mountain.”
the Mexico City International Airport (AICM) remained open
although passengers were being urged to check for information from their airlines
AICM said that airlines had canceled or postponed 22 domestic and international flights to carry out safety checks after planes encountered ash while flying toward the capital
CNPC assured that there was no immediate risk to the population
staying indoors and covering noses and mouths while outdoors
Aeroméxico reported the cancellation of 14 flights on Tuesday and Wednesday
and also noted that it would not be charging additional fees to travelers when re-booking
Viva Aerobus advised travelers to check for flight updates online
The Phase 2 Yellow Alert means that the fall of ash
mudflows and debris will continue in nearby areas
and that columns of smoke up to 2 km high are anticipated
