MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican Supreme Court Justice Alfredo Gutierrez will resign from the court at the end of August 2025, he said in a letter to Senate leadership on Tuesday, the first of several resignations expected following a controversial new judicial reform.
The move further heightens tensions between Mexico's Supreme Court and the governing ruling bloc, increasing the risk of a constitutional crisis with the two powers at loggerheads over the reform.
