Overview
- The three-member body is led by Chief Justice Hugo Aguilar Ortiz with ministers Lenia Batres Guadarrama and Giovanni Figueroa Mejía, as created under Resolution 1/2025.
- The panel will validate the next two draft budgets prepared by the Judicial Administration Office (OAJ) before a pleno vote and submission to the federal Executive.
- The reconfigured court asked the OAJ to revise the 2026 proposal after discarding an August 12 draft approved under Norma Piña that sought a real 8.1% increase, citing an austerity stance.
- Reporting says physical and IT security for the Court shifted to the Presidency’s Ayudantía and the OAJ’s domain moved under the federal Digital Transformation Agency, with staff dismissals noted.
- Journalistic analysis describes a nascent bloc around Minister Batres and questions the experience of several new ministers, while Aguilar faced scrutiny over a 103-person staff and pledged a 40% reduction.
