A total of 199 Veracruz municipalities managed to pay in advance a historical liability for the securitization of federal budget items, with support from the State Government.

Extinction of stock market debt

With a payment of just over 1,500 million pesos, the extinction of this obligation, contracted during the government of PRI member Fidel Herrera Beltrán, was finalized. Originally it was for 1,208 million pesos, but its financial structure—with debt indexed to UDIS, high interest rates and retention of participations—meant that the municipalities had already paid 2,573 million pesos. If it continued in force, they would have had to cover another 2,266 million until 2036.

Governor Rocío Nahle García announced the total cancellation with resources found in different trusts, so the municipalities did not disburse anything. One thousand 085 million pesos were recovered from trust accounts, and the State contributed 500 million.

“We recovered the money. Today all the municipalities are liquidated; they do not have to pay a single peso. The securitization does not end in 2036 or 2030: it ends today,” said Nahle.

During the review of the trust, the government identified three accounts—shares, support and reserve fund—that concentrated non-transparent resources for 1,085 million pesos. After recovering them, the liquidation was complemented with the state contribution to extinguish the obligation.

It was under the mandate of Fidel Herrera when 199 of the 212 municipalities took advantage of this scheme to securitize their federal participations, receiving resources in advance and committing the participations of various administrations.

On July 15, the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) presented more details about the participation of Mauro Alberto Núñez Ojeda, alias “El Jando”, in the forced transfer of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada to the United States.

Chronology of the investigation

July 25, 2024: “El Mayo” was deprived of his freedom and sent to New Mexico with Joaquín Guzmán López. The FGR indicates that “El Jando” piloted the plane from Culiacán, Sinaloa.

That same day, Mexican and US authorities inspected the aircraft. The then ambassador Ken Salazar said that he offered AMLO and prosecutor Gertz Manero to send a team, but there was no response.

“I informed AMLO and Gertz of the diligence. But, even so, there was only silence from AMLO,” declared Salazar.

February 8, 2025: “El Jando” was arrested in Jesús María, Culiacán, after attacking military and National Guard personnel. He identified himself by another name, but expert evidence confirmed his identity.

February 11: Secretary Omar García Harfuch confirmed that “El Jando” was a trusted pilot of “Los Chapitos”, a cell linked to the illegal deprivation of “El Mayo”.

“Yes, we can say that this person is a trusted pilot of the leader of the criminal cell,” said Harfuch.

June 2025: The FGR found voice and fingerprint matches that link “El Jando” with the July 25 pilot.

August 2025: He was delivered to the United States along with 25 other highly dangerous criminals, based on the National Security Law.

July 8, 2025: Prosecutor Ernestina Godoy reported that the take-off runway in Sinaloa did not have authorization to operate and that the aircraft had altered means of identification.

July 15: President Claudia Sheinbaum indicated that the delivery was carried out in strict compliance with the law. The FGR continues investigating.

The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH), chaired by Rosario Piedra, spoke out strongly against the deaths of Mexican migrants that occurred during operations and in detention centers of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE). The organization demanded investigations to clarify what happened and punish those responsible.

Demands for justice

In a statement, the CNDH described these cases as events of “the greatest seriousness”, since they imply possible violations of fundamental rights such as life, personal integrity, health, due process and dignified treatment of detained compatriots. The Commission stressed that the protection of the human rights of migrants is an international obligation, regardless of their nationality or immigration status.

The organization also supported the consular assistance that Mexico provides to its citizens deprived of liberty for immigration reasons, as well as the legal and humanitarian support to their families. He demanded that the investigations be “prompt, impartial, independent and transparent” to guarantee truth and justice.

Criticism of US immigration policies

The CNDH expressed concern about mass deportation policies and the tightening of border controls in the United States. It noted that these measures increase the risk of abuses, such as family separation, prolonged arbitrary detention, cruel treatment and loss of life.

The organization called on consular and law enforcement authorities to act quickly, ensuring access to justice, truth and comprehensive reparation for indirect victims. He reiterated that any death in state custody must be investigated with the utmost rigor and transparency.
