Mexican Drug War became the starting point of the war between the government and the drug cartels. Calderón escalated his anti-drug campaign, in which there are now about 45,000 troops involved in addition to state and federal police forces.

In the year prior, 28,000 individuals were arrested on drug-related charges.
