**Federal Agents Conduct Operation at Ensenada’s “Plaza China”**
On the morning of December 26, federal agents launched an operation to verify the legal operation of the “Plaza China” store located at the intersection of Pedro Loyola Street and Estancia Boulevard in Ensenada. Security sources supporting the area confirmed the event.
Initial reports stated that at 10:00 am, units from the National Guard, the State Force for Citizen Security, and the State Prosecutor’s Office (FGE) arrived to inspect the establishment. As part of the operation, the street was closed to traffic so that officials could review the necessary documentation to ensure the legality of the merchandise being sold. The store was recently inaugurated, generating increased interest in its operation.
Authorities expect to release more details on the operation later in the day, as the area remains under police supervision by the Municipal Public Security Directorate (DSPM). There are three trailers stationed outside the business premises.

**Secondary Article: Heightened Enforcement of Trade Compliance in Ensenada**
The recent operation at “Plaza China” is part of broader efforts to ensure trade compliance in Ensenada and the surrounding regions. Over recent months, there have been multiple instances where local authorities have teamed up with federal agencies to crackdown on illegal trade practices across Baja California. These initiatives aim to protect the local economy and reassure consumers of product legitimacy.
Reports indicate that in the past year, there has been a marked increase in similar inspections, stemming from concerns over counterfeit goods and non-compliance with import regulations. In response, the local government has prioritized collaboration with federal entities to facilitate comprehensive inspections and to fetter out any irregularities in new businesses, particularly import-oriented stores.
As these operations continue, business owners are advised to maintain complete documentation and ensure compliance with all legal requirements to avoid disruptions and potential penalties. Analysts suggest that these measures, while causing some initial operational hiccups, will ultimately forge a more transparent and accountable commercial landscape in the region.
