Mexico, U.S. Accounts Clash Over Status of Ex-Pemex Chief Carlos Treviño

Media and defense cite immigration records indicating he was bonded out to pursue an asylum case.

Overview

  • Milenio reports the ICE detainee search no longer lists Treviño and sources say he spent about 10 days in immigration custody.
  • His attorney says a U.S. immigration judge granted bond on August 26 and the asylum and immigration status review is ongoing.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum says the Security Cabinet informed her Treviño remains under U.S. authority and has not been released.
  • He was arrested on August 12 in Dallas by ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations in an immigration case, and Interpol deactivated a red notice for him in 2023.
  • In Mexico, a federal judge on October 16 denied his amparo against an arrest warrant tied to Odebrecht-related allegations, and the defense has sought review by a collegiate tribunal.
