Mexico City officials reported significant milestones in legal and identity services for the period between October 2025 and September 2026. Legal Counsel Eréndira Cruzvillegas Fuentes stated that the city provided over 89,000 criminal legal consultations, assumed more than 39,000 public defenses, and provided approximately 30,000 consultations regarding civil, family, and real estate matters. Additionally, the Civil Registry issued over 1.15 million certified documents and 368 birth certificates aligned with gender identity. In November 2026, the judicial system experienced a disruption when a contingency at the Judicial Power Data Center prevented civil and family court users from accessing case files for two consecutive days. Following the publication of a new assessment process for judicial career personnel on November 5, workers of the Federal Judiciary (PJF) initiated a national strike on November 6, 2026. The strike affected at least 17 states, resulting in the closure of approximately 40 judicial buildings. Protesters argued that the new evaluation criteria are subjective and threaten job stability. By November 8, the Judicial Administration Organ (OAJ) officially abrogated General Agreement AG-POAJ-025/2026. This ~~measure eliminates provisions allowing evaluations to result in sanctions or removal, removes~~ decision followed negotiations on November 7 between the ~~authority~~ President of ~~court heads to request extraordinary evaluations, and adjusts scoring to reduce subjectivity.
