Deaths in immigration custody

Three migrants from Guanajuato lost their lives during 2026 in incidents linked to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) in the United States.

José Guadalupe Ramos Solano, 52, of Silao, died on March 25 at the Adelanto Processing Center, California, while in ICE custody. Alejandro Cabrera Clemente, 49, living in Valle de Santiago, was found dead on April 11 in a cell at the Louisiana Immigration Detention Center.

The case of Juan Jairo Coronilla Durán

Juan Jairo Coronilla Durán, 28 years old and father of two children, died on July 14, run over by ICE agents during an operation in San Agustín, northeast of Florida. He had entered the United States with a tourist visa three weeks earlier and had only been in Florida for two days.

His wife, Yessica Alamilla López, traveled to Orlando to arrange the repatriation of the body. His parents and two children remained in San Luis de la Paz.

The state government, through the Human Rights Secretariat, contacted the family and offered support. The Undersecretary of Attention to Migrants, Susana Guerra Vallejo, confirmed that funeral services, the transfer of the body and the widow’s plane ticket will be covered. However, Yessica Alamilla requested additional financial support for repatriation.

Representative Yesenia Rojas Cervantes, president of the Migrant Assistance Commission of the local Congress, urged the Government of Mexico to demand accountability for these deaths. He noted that President Donald Trump has toughened immigration policy.

“We cannot normalize the fact that our fellow citizens lose their lives in circumstances of abuse and persecution,” said the legislator.

Governor Maru Campos and directors agree to expand in Chihuahua with a million-dollar investment.

The governor of Chihuahua, Maru Campos, met with Regal Nexford executives during the Farnborough Aerospace Fair. The meeting served to consolidate the state’s support for the company and agree on new actions that promote the growth of the aerospace sector.

These resources guarantee the operation of two plants located in the BAFAR Industrial Park. Campos listened to the concerns of managers about aspects that could be improved to expand operations and generate more jobs.

“The trust you have placed in us is our commitment to continue complying. This is a clear example of what in this administration we seek to build: legal certainty and confidence in your investments,” stated the governor.

Since it began operations in Chihuahua in 2024, Regal Nexford has invested $13.8 million. The resources were allocated to opening the aerospace division and the Power division, which has created almost 200 direct jobs. The alliance reinforces the state’s position as an investment hub in the aerospace industry.

IMSS sanctions companies for lying in contracts and failing in services

Two companies were disqualified for providing false information and not complying with contracts with the IMSS.

Sanctions on companies for false information and non-compliance

The Anti-Corruption and Good Government Secretariat disqualified two companies that contracted with the IMSS after providing false data or failing to comply with obligations. The sanctions, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, exclude them from new public contracts.

High Specialty of Medicine and Training received a fine of 138,911 pesos and a disqualification of one year and three months. The reason: he submitted false information in a direct award for high-tech ambulance patient transfer service. In the contract, the company assured under protest that none of its shareholders were public servants. However, one of them worked at the IMSS itself. The sanction was notified on July 10, 2026.

Protein, S.A. de C.V.was also fined 138,911 pesos and was disqualified for three months. He failed to deliver the performance guarantee and 150 pieces of chloroquine (150 mg tablets), breaching an open contract for the consolidated acquisition of medicines. The notification was made on July 9, 2026.

Both companies are registered in the Directory of Sanctioned Suppliers and Contractors, which prevents them from participating in contracting processes with the federal government. The Secretariat affirmed that the measures were applied in accordance with the law and with proportionality criteria. Companies can challenge, but the agency will defend the sanctions.

“Cheating to obtain public contracts or failing to comply with them has consequences,” warned the Anti-Corruption and Good Government Secretariat.
