Overview
- The plenary voted 5–4 to exercise its power of attraction over Amparo en Revisión 54/2024, which challenges prior rulings that nullified the warrant.
- Ministers Sara Irene Herrerías Guerra, Lenia Batres Guadarrama, Loretta Ortiz Ahlf, María Estela Ríos González, and Irving Espinosa Betanzo voted to take the case, while President Hugo Aguilar Ortiz, Yasmín Esquivel Mossa, Giovanni Azael Figueroa Mejía, and Arístides Rodrigo Guerrero García voted against.
- The matter reached the Court on a request from the Attorney General’s Office to review amparos granted in 2023 by Judges Faustino Gutiérrez Pérez and Yolanda Vega Marroquín.
- The underlying accusations by the FGR and the Financial Intelligence Unit allege organized crime and money laundering tied to public‑works contracts of about 105 million pesos.
- Next, the case will be assigned to a minister‑rapporteur to draft a proposed ruling, as García Cabeza de Vaca labels the case political persecution and Tamaulipas authorities pursue 70 separate complaints over a reported 343 million peso diversion.
