Pursuing appeal of the ruling

A Mexican federal judge has closed the criminal case against Francisco Garduño, who led the National Migration Institute (INM) when a fire killed 40 migrants at a Ciudad Juárez detention station in March 2023. Judge Victor Manlio Hernández Calderón ruled on October 13 that Garduño had met the terms of a suspended trial, including reparations, a public apology and human rights training.
