**Judiciary Staff in Tijuana Continue Work Stoppage**
The judiciary staff in Tijuana have continued their work stoppage, despite no official declaration from the Federal Judiciary Council to halt activities. The workdays on Wednesday and Thursday were declared non-working days as a result of the staff’s refusal to resume activities. Daniel Sánchez, a court secretary, noted that due to the staff’s stance, judges and magistrates had no choice but to declare the days as non-working.
This move is part of a larger wave of protests over the recent judicial reforms in Mexico. Judiciary staff have been organizing demonstrations, including blocking key roads in Tijuana and the commercial entryway at the Otay border crossing. The protests have intensified over the past two weeks in opposition to constitutional amendments affecting the judiciary.
Sánchez mentioned that an extraordinary session by the Federal Judiciary Council might occur this Friday, during which the continuation of the work stoppage could be discussed. Concerns from the workforce, unions, and associations of secretaries and process servers about extending the work stoppage are expected to be addressed.
