Overview
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said her government has sent multiple diplomatic letters to Israel seeking the extradition of former AIC chief Tomás Zerón, who has a Mexican arrest warrant and is accused of torture and other offenses.
- Sheinbaum also confirmed formal requests to the U.S. to extradite two suspects linked to the case; families specifically name former Iguala bar-andilla judge José Ulises Bernabé and continue to press for his return.
- A megamarch is scheduled to depart the Ángel de la Independencia at 4 p.m. toward the Zócalo, following days of protests that included a truck ramming and arson at the gate of Campo Militar 1-A with explosive devices thrown.
- The administration pledged there will be no repression of protests and highlighted a new special prosecutor and continued meetings with families, but it has not publicly delivered the Army’s 800 folios or secured the extraditions.
- Families reiterated five investigative demands: delivery of the 800 Army documents, clarification of 17 students reportedly taken to the Iguala bar-andilla, renewed analysis of cellphone data, the extraditions of Zerón and Bernabé, and probes of Guerrero officials.
