Overview

• The Senate finalized a security perimeter and a staged oath-taking that begins with the nine ministers around 7:30–8:00 p.m., followed by 872 additional magistrates and judges entering in groups to complete 881 swears.
• The new tribunal starts work with a heavy docket of at least 1,300 pending matters, with some reports placing the backlog above 1,500 following the elimination of specialized chambers.
• Minister president Hugo Aguilar Ortiz said the Court will designate three members of the five-seat Órgano de Administración Judicial on September 1, with the Senate and President Claudia Sheinbaum each naming one.
• Turnout in the June 1 judicial vote was reported at roughly 12.4%, and investigative reporting alleges use of party machinery and public welfare resources; INE and the electoral tribunal validated the results as a UN rapporteur voiced unanswered concerns about independence.
• The reconfigured nine-member Court replaces the prior 11-minister model under staggered terms, including extended periods for sitting ministers, with Hugo Aguilar Ortiz set to lead the initial biennium.
