Overview
- The draft by Justice María Estela Ríos González would reject the Mexico City Human Rights Commission’s challenge and validate Article 60 as revised in 2019, with a vote slated for Monday, January 19.
- The 2019 change removed minimum protections for people facing eviction, including advance notice, limits on use of force, and relocation options for vulnerable residents.
- Organizations and evicted tenants, including residents from República de Cuba 11, called for a blockade outside the Supreme Court at 8 a.m. on January 19 to seek suspension of the discussion and a meeting with justices.
- The CDHCM pursued the case as an action of unconstitutionality, arguing the reform violated the human-rights principle of non-regressivity.
- Activists allege the shift followed pressure from real estate interests, naming figures tied to GDC Desarrollo, and they report frequent arbitrary evictions and irregular judicial practices across Mexico City.
