**Secretary of Public Security Refuses to Provide Information on Congress Arrest**
On Wednesday, September 11, 2024, the Secretary of Public Security for Baja California, Tizoc Aguilar Durán, visited the state congress to investigate the reasons behind the arrests and injuries of protesters. These events took place during a demonstration that escalated into a confrontation with the State Citizen Security Force (FESC).
Aguilar Durán refrained from commenting on the specific details regarding the number of people detained and injured during the clash. Earlier, protesters had formed a delegation of five people to enter into talks with both the secretary and the legislative building’s administrator, Victor Navarro.
The protest coincided with a session scheduled to be held in the state congress. Daylín García Ruvalcaba, a representative from the Citizens’ Movement, confirmed that the session would proceed. However, she expressed concerns about the readiness of the documents related to a proposed judicial reform, saying they were not in a position to vote on it yet.
Despite this, the Political Coordination Board held a mixed session where they agreed to continue with the approval process for the judicial reform bill. In the meantime, protesters remained in the congress’s plenary hall, which was darkened after the skirmish with security forces.

As the situation in Baja California evolves, more on the events and their implications can be found through various sources. Protests in Mexicali have seen judicial workers from Tijuana making their way to the Baja California Congress to express their dissent. This group is voicing their opposition to the judicial reforms being voted on today.
In statements from local deputies, it has been confirmed that the federal decree regarding the reforms has already been received by the state legislature. The political environment remains tense as the reforms are a significant shift in how the judicial power will be structured and operated in Baja California.
Elsewhere in the region, other local issues continue to stir public interest. Examples include the announcement from the local water authority, CESPT, which assured residents that water services will be restored to affected neighborhoods following a period of intermittent supply due to record-high water consumption prompted by abnormal temperatures.
