SEP publishes 2026-2027 school calendar with 185 school days

The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) issued a condemnation for 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, chaired by Rosario Piedra Ibarra, demanded prompt, impartial and transparent investigations to clarify the facts and punish those responsible.

Concern about violations of fundamental rights

The CNDH described these cases as “most serious”, since they involve possible violations of the right to life, personal integrity, health, due process and dignified treatment. He expressed his concern about the immigration policies applied in the United States and recalled that the protection of human rights must be guaranteed regardless of nationality or legal status.

Consular assistance and accompaniment

The organization highlighted the need for Mexico to maintain consular assistance, legal accompaniment and humanitarian support for compatriots deprived of their liberty for immigration reasons, as well as for their families. He also reiterated that any death in state custody must be reviewed with the utmost rigor.

The CNDH requested that the investigations allow for determining responsibilities and guaranteeing truth, justice and comprehensive reparation for the victims.

Diplomatic tension due to DEA statements

The statements of the director of the DEA, Terry Cole, have caused friction in the bilateral relationship with Mexico. The official recently stated that the Mexican government and the cartels maintain a “deadly connection.” He said that combating this alleged alliance is a priority for his agency.

President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected the accusations. He described them as “unfortunate, unsupported and baseless.”

It is not Cole’s first controversy towards Mexico. Since taking office in 2025, his appointment has been questioned. Newspaper reports link him to the leak of sensitive information in 2011 that led to the civilian tragedy in Allende, Coahuila, attributed to the criminal group Los Zetas.

Cole has also supported measures by the Trump administration. Supports classifying Mexican cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. In addition, he has defended the possibility of covert operations by US agencies inside Mexico.

In his most recent statements, Cole pointed to the case of Sinaloa. He suggested that Mexican officials may have collaborated with criminal groups. Sheinbaum insisted that there is no evidence and that his statements damage bilateral cooperation.

Finding in Saltillo

This Wednesday, the Saltillo Security Police Station located two children under two years of age who were reported stolen in Nuevo León. The children were found on Nazario Ortiz Garza Boulevard, near the Saltillo 400 neighborhood, where they were sleeping outside a convenience store.

The intervention responded to a request for collaboration from authorities of San Nicolás de los Garza. The children’s father had taken them from a daycare center without the mother’s authorization, possibly heading to Saltillo.

Police work

Elements of the Municipal Police, Banking Group and Control and Command Center carried out tours of roads, intersections and bus stations. After the procedures, they located the little ones safe and sound.

A 31-year-old man was arrested and placed at the disposal of the competent authorities. The minors were transferred to the Family Integration Unit (UNIF) for the corresponding procedures.

The case highlights the importance of coordination between states to protect children.
