is only about 10% of that number, femicide (murders of women specifically because they are women), has risen and resulted in major demonstrations in early 2020. López Obrador initially backed away from the policy of taking out mafia heads. His policy was not a harsh crackdown, offering "abrazos, no balazos"" ("hugs, not gunshots"), which confused and demoralized the security forces. He then gave the army nation-wide control of security. A high-profile situation developed in Sinaloa in October 2019 when Ovidio Guzmán López "El Ratón," son of imprisoned drug mafia head Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, was captured by a small government force. The mafia responded there with a shootout on the Culiacán city streets, resulting in the government freeing Ovidio Guzmán. On 5 January 2023, after six months of planning and vigilance, another military operation took place, this time with air support from a Mexican Air Force UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter equipped with a M134 Minigun (used for the first time since the killing of the Beltrán-Leyva Organization leader Juan Francisco Patrón Sánchez "El H2" in 2017) sent in response to Guzmán's armed men using .50 caliber weapons of alleged U.S. origin during the initial shootout, that resulted in Oviedo Guzmán being captured once more, this time successfully, resulting in another fight between the Mexican military and the Sinaloa Cartel on the streets of Culiacán. This all resulted in the deaths of 10 soldiers and 19 members of the cartel, along with the arrests of 21 other alleged members, without civilian casualties, according to official reports. Most of these deaths occurred during the initial shootout between the military and the Sinaloa Cartel while Guzmán was being detained. Obrador claimed that the authorities acted "with responsibility" to protect the civilian population and that the operation was done without any involvement from the U.S. government. Ovidio Guzmán has now been moved to the "Altiplano" maximum security prison in the State of Mexico. He's expected to be eventually extradited to the U.S. per request of the U.S. government since September 2019, but he will remain in Mexico while various legal proceedings take place, as the Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs Marcelo Ebrard reported. On the same day, Ernesto Alfredo Piñón de la Cruz "El Neto," leader of the violent criminal organization affiliated with the Sinaloa Cartel known as "Los Mexicles," was killed by state and federal police while trying to flee from his residence
