# Sheinbaum promulgates an expansion of mandatory pre-trial detention

Date: 2024

## The fact

On 31 December 2024 [Sheinbaum](/people/claudia-sheinbaum) promulgated reforms to Article 19 expanding crimes subject to mandatory pre-trial detention, including extortion, contraband, false tax receipts, and synthetic-drug offences.

## Context

SSPC Article 21 reforms sat the same night as a neighbour, stored separately. She did not sit as every judge.

SSPC powers the same night are a different article. Teuchitlán 2025 is later.

The President of Mexico heads the federal executive, promulgates laws Congress sends, and commands the armed forces. She does not write an INE tally, a SCJN judgment, a US tariff schedule, or a cartel killing by herself. Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s earlier statutes are not her later decrees unless she re-enacted them. A disappearance print is not a unique due-process coefficient.

## Evidence and sources

DOF carries the official instrument or communique. Presidency of Mexico records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is justice: a completed expansion of automatic pre-trial detention is a dated due-process contraction.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 31 December 2024 promulgation of the Article 19 expansion.

Not established: that every later detainee was thereby a unique cartel author, or a unique later homicide drop from that night.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

She promulgated. Prosecutors and judges apply the catalogue.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Sheinbaum promulgates an expansion of mandatory pre-trial detention, not a later speech about Sheinbaum promulgates an expansion of mandatory pre-trial detention.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Sheinbaum promulgates an expansion of mandatory pre-trial detention on 2024-12-31 is not a licence to treat every later DOF communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Sheinbaum promulgates an expansion of mandatory pre-trial detention into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Congress voted. She promulgated. Prosecutors and judges apply the catalogue. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
