Consecutive Bomb Threats Empty Mexico City Court Complexes as Police Find No Devices

Investigators are tracing the calls with no confirmed link to any criminal group.

Overview

  • On Thursday, specialized SSC units, including the Agrupamiento Zorros, evacuated Ciudad Judicial in the Doctores neighborhood and reported no explosive devices after exhaustive searches.
  • The operation followed a similar evacuation on Wednesday at the Torre Prisma of the federal judiciary on Insurgentes Sur, where authorities also found nothing and allowed an orderly reentry.
  • Reported evacuation totals varied widely for Ciudad Judicial, with local authorities citing roughly 600 people and other outlets reporting figures up to about 7,000 across multiple buildings.
  • Officials said the actions followed established protocols with perimeter security, systematic inspections, and controlled reentry, and they reported no injuries or material damage in either incident.
  • La Jornada reported a caller claimed CJNG affiliation in the first threat, though SSC and judicial authorities have not attributed the calls to any group as investigations continue.
