Investigators found no evidence that the suspects were involved in drug trafficking or served as lookouts for smugglers, the AG’s office said.
One suspect is being held in custody because investigators found he had a criminal record in the United States and plan to hand him over to U.S. authorities, the AG’s office said.
The community police force turned the 21 suspects over to prosecutors last Wednesday.
The suspects were detained in Felipe Carrillo Puerto, a town also known as “La Ruana” and located in Michoacan’s Tierra Caliente region, an area that became a marijuana growing center in the 1970s.
