Mexico on Fire Part 2 | the Climate in San Miguel de Allende | Government Update

On February 22, 2026, reports began circulating about a significant security operation in and around Puerto Vallarta and other parts of Mexico involving the Mexican government targeting criminal leadership — including actions connected to “El Mencho,” leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). Whenever events like this happen, especially in well-known places like Puerto Vallarta, the news spreads quickly — and often dramatically — across social media. But here’s what’s important to understand: Security operations targeting cartel leadership are not new in Mexico. These events, while serious, are typically localized and temporary. They do not represent the day-to-day reality for the majority of people living across the country. What often creates more panic than the event itself is how it’s portrayed online. Social media can amplify fear faster than facts. That’s why I always encourage people to rely on reputable news sources and verified government updates — not viral posts or emotionally charged commentary. Now, let’s talk about San Miguel de Allende. It is Monday, February 23rd. Here in San Miguel: Things are calm. There is no curfew. Businesses are open. Daily life feels normal and relaxed. By tomorrow, it will very likely be completely business as usual. That doesn’t mean we ignore reality. It doesn’t mean we pretend challenges don’t exist. But it does mean we respond with awareness instead of panic. There are challenges happening all over the world right now — in the U.S., in Europe, in Latin America. Mexico is not unique in facing security issues. The difference is often in perception. As someone who has lived in Mexico for more than eight years — and traveled in and out of the country for over twenty — I still consider this home. I have no intentions of leaving. If Mexico is on your list — whether to visit, relocate, or explore long-term — my advice is simple: Continue your planning. Stay informed. Pay attention to the climate. And most importantly — trust how it feels to you. If you are seriously considering relocating or spending extended time in Mexico, we provide structured relocation resources, tours, and soft-landing support.

Stay grounded. And I’ll continue updating you from here in San Miguel.
