Mexicans Experiencing Abuse at Alligator Alcatraz: Recap of Friday's Morning Events
In the latest news from Mexico, several significant events have unfolded.
Senator Adán Augusto López Hernández, a prominent figure in the Morena party, is facing scrutiny over his leadership in the Senate, following a formal request by the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) for an investigation into allegations of criminal association. The senator, however, currently does not face any criminal charges.
Meanwhile, Hernán Bermúdez Requena, who served as López Hernández's security minister when he was governor of Tabasco, was arrested in Paraguay last week and is now in a federal prison in México state. Bermúdez is accused of leading a crime organization called La Barredora and faces charges of criminal association, extortion, and express kidnapping.
President Claudia Sheinbaum announced an earthquake drill would take place at midday on Friday, a reminder of the devastating earthquakes that struck Mexico City in 1985 and 2017, on September 19.
The issue of abandoned babies in Mexico is a growing concern, with reports of such cases in various states across the country. State Attorney General's Offices and state DIF family service agencies are responsible for attending to these abandoned babies.
The Ministry of Women, in collaboration with the IMSS Bienestar health care agency, has a program to assist pregnant teenage girls and young women at risk of abandoning their baby.
Foreign Affairs Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente met with 198 Mexicans detained at Alligator Alcatraz, a notorious prison in the United States. Reports from the detainees suggest cases of mistreatment or abuse. The Associated Press reported that people held at Alligator Alcatraz complain of worms in the food, toilets not flushing, and infestations of mosquitoes and other insects.
In other news, Senator López Hernández has stated that he is willing to speak to authorities about the case against his former security minister, Hernán Bermúdez. It's important to note that López Hernández was not arrested as Interior Minister of Tabasco; there is no public record of such an event.
The national DIF organizes and coordinates all the work of the DIF agencies in each federal entity. The DIF plays a crucial role in addressing issues such as the care of abandoned babies and supporting vulnerable populations in Mexico.
As these events unfold, the Mexican government and its agencies continue to work tirelessly to ensure the safety, welfare, and justice for its citizens.
