美国政府宣布暂停在墨西哥米却肯州的所有政府运作，包括牛油果出口检验[1]。这项决定是出于对美国利益的"威胁"考虑[1]。米却肯州州长表示，暂停检验是为了保护工作人员，原因与近期与勒索相关的逮捕行动有关[1]。
米却肯州是美国牛油果的主要供应地，该地区的供应量约占美国进口牛油果总量的80%[1]。2025年墨西哥对美国的牛油果出口额达36.5亿美元，今年前四个月同比增长35%[1]。当地牛油果种植产业被称为"绿色黄金"，创造了约20万个就业机会[1]。
该地区面临严重的安全问题，至少有四个贩毒集团活跃于此，从事毒品贩运和勒索活动[1]。这些集团已被特朗普政府列为恐怖组织[1]。近期被捕的嫌疑人"庞乔"（阿方索·费尔南德斯·马加隆）是当地贩毒集团的头目，美国曾悬赏500万美元通缉[1]。美国大使罗纳德·约翰逊对该逮捕表示欢迎[1]。
The United States announced a suspension of all government operations in Mexico's Michoacan state on Wednesday, including avocado export inspections, citing threats to American interests [1]. The decision to halt inspections was made to protect personnel, according to Michoacan's governor, following recent arrests related to extortion activities [1].
Michoacan serves as a critical supply region for American avocado imports, with Mexican avocados accounting for approximately 80 percent of US imports and being referred to locally as "green gold" [1]. The state's avocado industry generated $3.65 billion in exports to the United States in 2025, representing a 35 percent year-over-year increase over the first four months of the year [1]. The sector also supports roughly 200,000 jobs in the region [1].
The enforcement action follows the arrest of a major drug trafficking leader. The suspect, known as "Poncho" and identified as Alfonso Fernández Magarón, was a local cartel head for whom the US had previously offered a $5 million reward [1]. US Ambassador Ronald Johnson welcomed the arrest [1]. At least four drug trafficking organizations operating in Michoacan have been designated as terrorist groups by the Trump administration [1].
