Desafuero in the Supreme Court

The Court will hear both cases brought before it regarding the desafuero. In the meantime, however, the Attorney General’s office can present the case to a judge, and request a warrant for AMLO’s arrest. The AG’s office is expected to request the warrant sometime next week.

While the court considers the case, both side have begun a public relations campaign to convince the public that they will win their case. As you might imagine, this involves overly optimistic interpretations of any small Court announcement by both sides.
