Mexican Mayor Who Stood Up to Cartels Gunned Down in ‘Kamikaze Attack’ Weeks After Haunting Statement

A Mexican mayor who called for “brute force” against the country’s violent drug cartels was gunned down in public Saturday night during “Day of the Dead” celebrations in his hometown.

Carlos Manzo, 40, the firebrand mayor of Uruapan in Mexico’s Michoacan province, was shot dead by two gunmen in front of shocked supporters in the city’s central square, the Los Angeles Times reported.

“I condemn in the strongest possible terms the vile assassination of the mayor of Uruapan, Carlos Manzo,” Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum wrote on X. “I express my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones, as well as to the people of Uruapan, for this irreparable loss.”

Security consultant David Saucedo described the brazen assassination as a “kamikaze attack.”

Manzo gained fame as head of the city of 300,000 when he stood up to the bloody cartels that have terrorized Mexico for decades — and acknowledged the risk he was taking. (Read more from “Mexican Mayor Who Stood Up to Cartels Gunned Down in ‘Kamikaze Attack’ Weeks After Haunting Statement” HERE)

Trump: ICE Raids ‘Haven’t Gone Far Enough’

On Sunday, CBS released a preview clip of President Donald Trump’s interview, scheduled to air later on “60 Minutes,” in which he discussed his immigration policy.

Trump, who campaigned on immigration and closing the border, said he believes the tactics Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are using on the streets of cities like Chicago and Los Angeles “haven’t gone far enough” to remove people who are in the country illegally.

Host Norah O’Donnell said, “More recently, Americans have been watching videos of ice tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows.” . . .

She asked, “Have some of these raids gone too far?”

Trump said, “No, I think they haven’t gone far enough because we’ve been held back by the judges, by the liberal judges that were put in by Biden and by Obama.”

WATCH: Mandatory Digital ID is Coming and Here’s What We MUST do to Stop It.

If you don’t think this terrifying control system is coming, think again. America’s digital ID ecosystem is already here at the state level. As of late 2025, 17 jurisdictions allow mDLs (digital driver’s licenses or “mobile driver’s licenses”): Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Puerto Rico, Utah, Virginia, and West Virginia. And mDLs are accepted at over 250 TSA checkpoints. Another 18 states plan adoption by year-end, building on the REAL ID legislation already enacted. This is just the start, with mandatory provisions coming. Joe explains more below:
