💨 Abstract

In Mexico, a legal dispute is unfolding over the arrest of an immigration activist and lawyer, Luis García Villagrán. Originally detained for alleged human trafficking, he was later released by a judge citing insufficient evidence. The Attorney General's Office is appealing this decision, asserting García Villagrán's involvement in organized crime. He denies these claims, stating that his advocacy for migrant rights led to his arrest. The case highlights tensions between Mexico's commitments to migrant protection and border enforcement pressures from the U.S.
