“Women have the right to write their own history, far from archaic roles,” the official statement emphasizes. And it couldn’t be more true: imagine a Mexico where girls grow up knowing that they can be presidents, scientists or astronauts, without anyone telling them what they “should” do because of their gender. That Mexico is possible, and together we are building it!

The power of your voice in this fight

This is not just an institutional issue; It is a personal invitation for you. The Secretariat urges society to promote values ​​of equality from homes, schools and even in conversations with friends. As? Normalizing that tasks have no gender, that success has no limits and that respect is the basis of everything. Even small gestures count! Share stories of inspiring women, educate by example and, above all, celebrate every progress.

While Chicharito insists on ideas such as that women should “clean” and men “provide“, thousands of voices join together to say: Enough! The change is here, and you can be part of it. Are you going to allow stereotypes to define the potential of the next generations? Of course not!

CNDH demands clarification of deaths of Mexican migrants in ICE custody

The organization asks to investigate deaths of compatriots in US detention centers.

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.

Sheinbaum rejects accusations by the director of the DEA about links to crime

The head of the DEA pointed out an alleged alliance between authorities and cartels. Sheinbaum described it as unsupported.

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.
