Overview
- The TDJ’s Investigation Commission provisionally suspended a district judge based in Colima for repeatedly cutting agreed sentences and granting conditional benefits in at least four abbreviated proceedings tied to firearms and drug cases.
- The measure is precautionary to preserve evidence, prevent further harm and avoid obstruction, and it is the first case resolved since the commission’s installation at the end of October.
- Appellate courts had already corrected the judge’s rulings as contrary to law; the TDJ did not disclose the name, while Proceso reported the judge as Sergio Alberto Sigales Obrador Garrido.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum referenced a judge in Colima in linking prior decisions to rising homicides and said she notified the TDJ, which she noted is investigating.
- In a separate move, the Senate received the OAJ’s notice of resignation by elected district judge Adrián Guadalupe Aguirre Hernández in Jalisco, the first such exit under the new model, with succession expected to follow the runner‑up rule reported to point to Joseph Irwing Olid Aranda pending Senate action.
