**Judiciary Workers Protest at UABC Law School; Seek Student Support**
Tijuana – On Friday, employees of the Federal Judicial Branch gathered at the Law School of the Autonomous University of Baja California (UABC) to urge students to join their movement against the proposed judicial reforms. Approximately 200 protesters concentrated in the main areas of the faculty to deliver their message.
District Judge América Ruiz Ríos stated that the youth in Tijuana have not been actively involved in protests against the judicial reform and emphasized the importance of raising awareness among students about the potential risks of the reform. “Here, we haven’t seen student involvement. We are here to invite them, hoping for positive responses and that they get informed about the reform’s content,” Ruiz Ríos expressed.
For about half an hour, the protesters delivered speeches opposing the constitutional amendment. Judge Alexis Manríquez Castro added, “I hope the Senate displays wisdom and that the 43 senators bear their historical responsibility to oppose this reform and seek changes that benefit justice. The justice system needs changes across all its actors, including the Public Prosecutor’s Office and local prosecutor’s offices.”
The protest caught the attention of several students who were in the midst of their classes. Ulises García, a law student, shared his perspective: “Honestly, I think it’s wrong because we are a democratic city, and they are taking away our right to speak with the Judicial Branch by trying to monopolize it, thereby denying us our voice.”

As the situation develops, they are preparing to file appeals and complaints with international organizations hoping for more significant scrutiny and support from the global community.
Recently, judiciary workers in various regions have conducted strikes and demonstrations to bring attention to their cause.
