On 20 May 2023, a shootout occurred in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. It occurred at 2:18pm at an off-road vehicle rally in the San Vicente area of the city.

Masked men stopped Mexico's leading presidential candidate, Claudia Sheinbaum, while she was campaigning to ask her to address the violence in Chiapas if she wins the June 2 election. The men expressed feeling powerless due to the lack of government security measures in their township, Motozintla, which is plagued by cartel violence. Sheinbaum, escorted by the army and national guard during her Chiapas campaign swing, downplayed the incident, stating it was strange. The border area of Chiapas is marked by conflict between rival cartels seeking control and forcibly recruiting locals.
The head of Mexico's Criminal Investigation Agency stated that Mexico has been the champion of methamphetamine production since the 1990s and now leads in fentanyl production, contradicting President Lopez Obrador's denial of fentanyl production in Mexico. Mexican cartels use precursor chemicals from China and India to make and smuggle fentanyl into the United States, contributing to 70,000 overdose deaths annually. While fentanyl is not widely abused in Mexico, methamphetamine addiction is common, with Mexican cartels industrializing meth production and exporting it globally.
