Mexico and Media Split on Status of Ex-Pemex Chief Carlos Treviño in U.S. Custody

An asylum bid in U.S. immigration court complicates Mexico's push to enforce an Odebrecht case warrant.

Overview

  • Outlets including Milenio report Treviño was released from ICE custody days after his Aug. 12 arrest and no longer appears in detainee records.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum says security officials informed her he remains detained in the United States and promised updates if that changes.
  • Treviño’s lawyer says a judge granted bond on Aug. 26, allowing him to stay in the country while his immigration status and asylum request are reviewed.
  • A Mexican federal judge on Oct. 16 denied his amparo against an arrest warrant tied to alleged criminal association and money laundering, and his defense filed a review.
  • Interpol deactivated its red notice in March 2023, narrowing cross-border enforcement options as the FGR seeks to pursue Odebrecht-related charges.
