Overview

• Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico has sent multiple diplomatic letters to Israel seeking Tomás Zerón’s extradition and has asked the United States to extradite two additional suspects tied to the case.
• Masked protesters used a cargo truck to strike the gate of Campo Militar No. 1 and then set the vehicle ablaze; authorities condemned the violence and reported no injuries.
• Sheinbaum reiterated that there will be no repression and pledged pursuit of truth and justice, pointing to a new special prosecutor, Mauricio Pazarán, and ongoing meetings with parents.
• Relatives of the 43 renewed demands to release 800 Army files and to extradite Zerón and former Iguala bar-and-hold judge José Ulises Bernabé, arguing the investigation still lacks decisive advances.
• Zerón has resided in Israel since 2019, with Mexico’s extradition request filed in December 2021, and Sheinbaum said U.S. extradition requests were raised directly with the Secretary of State during his visit.
