Data reveals majority of drug raids in Mexico target inactive labs

Mexico’s army appears to be raiding only a handful of active drug labs every month, with facilities that were already out of use accounting for 95% of seizures this year, according to defense ministry figures.

Out of the 527 labs raided by Mexico’s army in the first seven months of this year, only 24 laboratories, or less than 5%, were “active” labs.

That dataset also revealed a similar pattern in the first four and a half years of Lopez Obrador’s administration, with inactive labs accounting for 89% of 1,658 raids carried out by the army from December 2018 to August this year. The data did not specify how long those labs had been out of use.
