Justice Call for Adán Morales

Families seek justice for Adán Morales, press for accountability at Presidential event. Calls for local task forces to address disappearances as infrastructure projects and health initiatives unfold in Tijuana.

### Families Demand Justice for Adán Morales at Presidential Event

In Tijuana, the family of Adán Morales, a prison officer who died allegedly at the hands of the National Guard, staged a protest outside an event hosted by Mexico’s President, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. Morales’ mother and wife are calling for justice, as they believe those responsible for his death in June have not been held accountable.

Despite efforts to bring the case to the attention of the State Attorney General’s Office, the family claims they have not received adequate responses and continue to see the supposedly responsible National Guard officers patrolling the streets. Approximately ten days ago, during another family protest, Baja California’s homicide prosecutor, Miguel Ángel Gaxiola, confirmed that an arrest warrant had been issued for the agents involved.

### Additional Developments Surrounding the Case

New calls for action have emerged, with supporters urging the formation of municipal task forces dedicated to searching for disappeared individuals. This initiative aims to address the mistrust in federal investigations, as the families of victims feel ignored.

Meanwhile, Claudia Sheinbaum’s visit to Baja California included discussions on infrastructure projects like the elevated viaduct and the Otay II border crossing, both legacies from the previous administration. However, protesters against reforms to local public service institutions also voiced their concerns during her visit, highlighting issues of financial mismanagement and demands for more transparency.

In other news, initiatives for women’s health have rolled out in Tijuana, offering vouchers for mammograms as part of a prevention and diagnosis campaign running until December. This program aims to reach all nine city delegations, emphasizing preventive health care.

Finally, local merchants have called on President Sheinbaum to expedite the renewal of decrees concerning the import of used cars, as changes have led to significant cost increases. Meanwhile, students suffering from anxiety at UABC can access support services designed to help manage such challenges, paving the way for increased mental health awareness and support within academic institutions.
