Overview

  • Twenty of twenty-one nominees to regional chambers of the TFJA were ratified, with the remaining nomination left pending after Ana María Chávez Nava did not attend her hearing.
  • The plenary approved the slate 66–32 after committees advanced 20 profiles the previous day with a 23–8 vote.
  • The confirmed appointees will serve single, non-extendable ten-year terms beginning on January 1, 2026.
  • Critics highlight links to Morena and federal officials, citing Miguel Ernesto Pompa’s proximity to Adán Augusto López, Jorge Enrique Mata’s ties to Mónica Soto, and Yamil Villalba’s relationship with the Alcalde sisters.
  • Supporters argue the picks are capable and follow established procedures, as the TFJA handles high-volume administrative and fiscal disputes between individuals and the federal government.
