Sheinbaum announces border reopening for Mexican cattle

Proposed neighborhood law

Neighbors of the Del Valle neighborhood, in the Benito Juárez mayor’s office, announced that they will promote a bill to strengthen the protection of property owners. The proposal is inspired by the case of Doña Carlota, who in Chalco, State of Mexico, used a weapon to defend her home and caused the death of two people.

After holding a four-day sit-in at the intersection of Matías Romero and Coyoacán Avenue, where they reported alleged looting, the neighbors obtained a work table. The meeting will be next Wednesday in the Bunker of the Attorney General’s Office of Mexico City (FGJ CDMX) with the prosecutor Bertha Alcalde Luján and the Secretary of Government, César Cravioto.

Alicia Camp, member of the Community Participation Commission (Copaco) of Valle Centro, stated that they will present files from affected neighbors throughout the capital.

“This is not a unique and isolated case as the prosecution wants to believe; it is a recurring event, not only in Benito Juárez, but throughout the City,” he declared.

Camp called on those who have investigation files for invasion or dispossession to join the table to demonstrate the magnitude of the problem. He warned that, if there is no concrete progress, the next protest will close the intersection of Insurgentes Sur and Eje 6 Sur.

“I want to believe the word of the people who govern us, but if this is not resolved satisfactorily, we will go out again to demonstrate,” he said.

Regarding the initiative, Camp explained that they seek to avoid extreme situations to recover properties and strengthen legal mechanisms. The reform would contemplate the Public Property Registry and notaries to make fraudulent operations more difficult.

In June 2025, the Congress of the State of Mexico toughened the penalties for dispossession: from five to 10 years in prison, and up to 25 years and six months if public servants or notaries participate. The law considers aggravating factors such as physical violence, breaking locks, or when the victim is over 70 years old, a minor, a pregnant woman, a disabled woman, or belonging to an indigenous community.

Incident in the operating room due to high temperatures

A doctor at the Fresnillo General Hospital, belonging to the IMSS-Bienestar, lost consciousness while performing surgery. The incident occurred this Friday, and since Saturday, videos recorded by workers at the hospital began to circulate.

According to medical personnel, the fainting was caused by a suspected heatstroke. They point out that the operating rooms lack adequate ventilation and that the air conditioning conditions are insufficient. Complaints about this problem have spread on social networks.

The workers demanded that the hospital authorities urgently review the air conditioning systems. So far, the IMSS-Wellbeing has not issued an official statement about the incident or the measures that will be taken.

The hospital unit serves a population of more than 200 thousand inhabitants in the Fresnillo region. This type of failure in critical infrastructure puts both health personnel and patients at risk.

Compensation for lost luggage

If you lose your carry-on luggage on a domestic flight, the airline must pay you 6,759 pesos, equivalent to 80 UMA. For checked luggage, the compensation increases to 12,673 pesos (150 UMA). This is established by the Federal Consumer Protection Agency (Profeco).

Each checked bag must have a check with two parts: one for the passenger and another attached to the luggage. This avoids confusion and facilitates complaints.

On domestic flights, you can check in between 15 and 25 kilos free of charge, depending on the aircraft. In addition, you carry up to two hand pieces that together do not exceed 10 kilos. The maximum dimensions are 55 cm long, 40 wide and 25 high.

If your luggage exceeds these limits, the airline may charge extra, as long as there is space. It also offers reduced rates to those traveling without suitcases.

For international flights, the rules depend on the corresponding treaty.

Profeco has modules at the Mexico City International Airport. They operate from Monday to Sunday from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.; on holidays, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. You can also call the Consumer Telephone: 55 6887 22 or 01 800 468 8722.
