Mexico resumes exporting livestock to the US after control of the screwworm plague.

President Claudia Sheinbaum reported that the United States government authorized the resumption of Mexican livestock exports. The measure will begin to be applied in the last weeks of August.

Through social networks, the president explained that she received a letter from the US Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, notifying the decision to reopen the borders to the national livestock sector.

The restart of the cattle crossing will begin at the border point of Agua Prieta, Sonora. Later, two additional crossings will be enabled in the state of Chihuahua.

Sheinbaum recognized the joint effort of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (Sader), Senasica and livestock producers to contain the screwworm plague. This achievement allowed binational trade to be unlocked.

“This is a new example that dialogue, cooperation and collaboration with mutual respect between Mexico and the United States yield great results for the benefit of our people,” said the head of the federal Executive.

SEP rejects violence under alleged military education

After the death of a teenager in a militarized camp, SEP refuses to justify abuses as 'military education'.

The Ministry of Public Education (SEP) condemned any act of violence or abuse against minors that attempts to justify with the term “military education.” Its owner, Mario Delgado, stated that this modality is not authorized in any basic education school in the country.

“It is inadmissible that, under a supposed ‘military education’, attempts are made to justify, normalize or hide acts of abuse, violence, mistreatment or practices that threaten the physical, psychological or emotional integrity of minors,” Delgado said in a statement.

The official stressed that this type of behavior constitutes a flagrant violation of human rights and the best interests of children. He recalled that military education is only taught in institutions of the Armed Forces and the National Guard, under the Secretariat of National Defense.

No authorization for militarized schools

The SEP reiterated that no basic education school can offer services under the name “militarized”, “military” or “military”. The agency warned that the educational authority of Tamaulipas is already investigating the case and will take action on the institution involved, which received authorization in 2005 and was updated in 2013.

Details of the case

The incident occurred at a private summer camp in Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas. A teenager was admitted in good health on July 13. Days later, a coordinator informed the mother that the minor had fainted and suffered a fall. They sent him a video where the young woman appears lying down, with visible bruises on her face, saying that she was fine. Hours later, the teenager died inside the facilities.

The SEP regretted the death and strongly rejected any inhuman or degrading treatment against girls, boys and adolescents.
