Ernesto Ruffo Appel presents new protection against the FGR

The PAN member challenged 17 acts of the FGR from the maximum security prison.

New legal resource from the Altiplano

The former governor of Baja California, Ernesto Ruffo Appel, filed a new amparo against the Attorney General’s Office (FGR). They accuse him of alleged organized crime and smuggling linked to the so-called fiscal huachicol.

Ruffo Appel, held in the Altiplano prison, challenged 17 acts. Among them: the arrest warrant, his transfer out of Baja California, the deprivation of his freedom and possible irregularities during his capture.

Complaints of lack of communication and lack of medical attention

The defense claims that the former president was held incommunicado, without informing his family or lawyers about his whereabouts. They also point out that he was denied access to essential medications for his treatment.

A federal judge admitted the lawsuit, although it has not been reported whether he granted a provisional suspension. Last Friday, a judge in Ensenada granted an outright suspension to prevent Ruffo Appel from being held incommunicado or suffering acts of abuse.

The FGR detained him while he was at a meeting in Ensenada, Baja California. The case is still in judicial process.

Senate reform seeks safe reception for deported migrants

Morena's initiative proposes a clear protocol to receive returnees, especially minors.

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.
