## Resource

A chilling new chapter in Mexico’s escalating violence: Mayor Valentín Lavín Romero of Temoac, Morelos, was fatally shot in a brazen attack at the town hall — the 14th mayor killed since President Claudia Sheinbaum took office. Lavín, who narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in January, now joins a grim tally of nearly 100 mayors murdered since 2006, often linked to organized crime. His family’s ties to alleged criminal networks — including his mother-in-law’s arrest for kidnapping ties and activist accusations against him — have fueled speculation. As federal authorities ramp up Operation Swarm, targeting corruption between local officials and cartels, this killing underscores the deadly stakes for Mexico’s municipal leaders.
