Sheinbaum Sends Amparo Overhaul to Senate, Moving to Curb Suspensions and UIF Relief

The proposal prioritizes social interest and public order over status‑quo protections in court.

Overview

  • The presidential initiative formally filed in the Senate would bar judges from granting suspensions that keep permit‑ or concession‑dependent activities operating during litigation.
  • For financial blockings by the Financial Intelligence Unit, provisional suspensions would not be allowed, access would be limited to basic subsistence and payroll, and definitive relief would require proving the funds’ lawful origin.
  • Enforcement tools would shift as fines for noncompliance apply to institutions rather than individual officials, with no penal responsibility when authorities demonstrate legal or material impossibility to comply.
  • The draft introduces an optional digital amparo and revises the standard for interés legítimo to clarify requirements for demonstrating concrete harm and benefit.
  • Opposition senators and legal groups immediately denounced the plan as a rollback of protections, while the measure awaits Senate debate and detailed consideration.
