Deputies approve course on gender after Cuauhtémoc Blanco case

The Chamber of Deputies promotes training in gender perspective after legal controversy.

Training on gender perspective for legislators

The Political Coordination Board (Jucopo) of the Chamber of Deputies authorized the implementation of a course on gender equality, an initiative proposed after the filing of the immunity process against deputy Cuauhtémoc Blanco, accused of attempted rape by his sister. The voluntary training will be aimed at parliamentarians, advisors and administrative staff of the legislative branch.

Origin and scope of the initiative

The coordinator of Morena, Ricardo Monreal, explained that the proposal arose at the request of Ivonne Ortega, leader of the Citizen Movement (MC) bench. The program seeks to raise awareness about gender violence and human rights, although it will not be a mandatory requirement for participants. This measure is framed in a context of growing social demand for transparency and training in equity within public institutions.

Immigration reform in the Senate

The Senate is analyzing a proposal to guarantee an orderly and safe reception of Mexicans repatriated from the United States. The initiative – promoted by Senator Olga Patricia Sosa (Morena) – seeks to prevent thousands of people, including children and adolescents, from reaching the border in vulnerable conditions.

According to the text, the National Migration Institute (INM) must issue a certificate of reception and safe channeling when receiving repatriated, returned or foreigners readmitted by Mexico. The goal is to establish a clear protocol that protects your well-being.

The proposal arises in a context of increase in migratory flows. Minors are the main focus of the measure, due to their special vulnerability. With this reform, the Senate seeks to mitigate the risks and ensure adequate reintegration in the country.

Young Mexican dies after being run over in an ICE operation in Florida

Mexican man with a work visa is killed by a car while fleeing from ICE in Orlando.

Death in Orlando

A 28-year-old Mexican man, originally from Guanajuato, lost his life after being run over by a tractor-trailer in Orlando, Florida, while allegedly trying to withdraw from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) operation. Juan Jairo Coronilla became a new figure on the list of deaths linked to US immigration actions.

The facts

The incident occurred on the morning of July 14. Coronilla was with three companions at a gas station when, upon noticing the presence of ICE agents, they tried to leave the place. Witnesses indicated that the young man crossed a road, slipped on the wet grass and was hit by a truck from the Eggland’s Best company.

The family claimed that Coronilla was legally residing in the United States on a work visa. His wife, Yezzika Alamilla, traveled to Florida to identify the body and arrange for its repatriation to Mexico. He was the father of two children and, according to his loved ones, a hard-working and happy person.

Context of claims

Since Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, at least 17 Mexicans have died in circumstances linked to ICE. Faced with this trend, Claudia Sheinbaum’s government has toughened its diplomatic and legal stance, filing complaints with US authorities and international organizations. Coronilla’s family demands that the facts be clarified and that they receive support for the repatriation of his remains.
