As President Trump said, the legislation is “delivering another defeat for the savage drug smugglers and criminals and the cartels."
The bill, introduced in Congress earlier this year, permanently places fentanyl-related substances as a class into schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. A Schedule I controlled substance is a drug, substance, or chemical that has a high potential for abuse; has no currently accepted medical value; and is subject to regulatory controls and administrative, civil, and criminal penalties under the Controlled Substances Act.

The Central American president requested that the Secretary of Security correct the information regarding a small plane seized in Colima.
By: Andrés Martínez
On Wednesday afternoon, El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele asked Secretary Harfuch to rectify his July 8 report, stating that an aircraft from the Central American country was seized in Tecomán, Colima.
"In Tecomán, Colima, as a result of surveillance and protection of Mexican airspace, personnel from the National Center for Surveillance and Airspace Protection detected an aircraft from El Salvador carrying 428 kilos of cocaine, and three people were arrested. The value of the drugs is 96 million pesos," Harfuch explained during the "People's Morning Press Conference" conference.
“On July 3, at 1:00 p.m., Costa Rica reported a suspicious aircraft track northwest of its territory. They activated the regional alert through APAN, a Central American air safety network. According to their own report, the aircraft track entered Costa Rica, briefly disappeared from radar, and then reappeared, heading out into the Pacific,” Bukele wrote on his X account.

So far, 38 victims have been classified, of which 18 have already been pre-identified. They continue working with heavy machinery.

This Wednesday, eight more bags containing human remains were found in the grave in the Las Agujas neighborhood, in the municipality of Zapopan. This brings the total to 54 since work began on the second site last Sunday, June 29, and 223 bags, including the 169 bags found on adjacent land since last February.
Maribel, a member of the Guerreros Buscadores collective of Jalisco, indicated that so far, less than a quarter of the land has been worked on, despite the work being carried out with heavy machinery.
"There hasn't been much progress. In other words, we were talking about not even a quarter of the land being worked on. Today, eight bags were found."
I think progress has been made. Well, the truth is, we only made a few meters to where we had left off yesterday, to the limit of where work was done yesterday, and I think this will take a long time, for several months, because it does indicate and hint at more pockets.”
He added that one reason why little progress was made today is because one of the two excavation machines broke down, so he hopes it will be working again by tomorrow, Thursday.
Sources close to the investigation indicate that 38 victims have been classified so far, 18 of whom have already been pre-identified through tattoos; none have been released to their families.
On Tuesday, personnel from the National Search Commission joined the search due to a lack of personnel from the State Search Commission and the high demand for work.
Members of the Luz de Esperanza collective and Lupita Aguilar, founder of the Familias Unidas por Nuestros Desaparecidos collective, also joined the search.

Culiacán, Sinaloa.- Members of the Mexican Navy deployed a strong mobilization by land and air on the morning of Wednesday, July 9, in the municipalities of Culiacán, Navolato, and Elota as part of the security reinforcement in the central region of the state and in anticipation of the arrival of the 400 SEMAR members who were deployed since Monday in these last two municipalities.
Although some of the aircraft flew at very low altitudes over Navolato during the overflights, it was confirmed that no arrests have been made so far by this agency, while dozens of units known as "rapid" patrolled the city of the sugarcane municipality this morning.
Authorities hope that with the presence of federal forces, crime rates will decrease in the coming days, but so far, there is no information on how long the marines will be in the state carrying out these tasks.
