PAN Files Mexico City Bill to Lock In Missing-Persons Search and Support

The move signals a push to replace ad hoc practices with legally binding search and support tools.

Overview

  • The PAN bloc filed the bill in the Mexico City Congress, citing nearly 6,000 people still unlocated and the capital’s second-highest national tally in 2025.
  • The bill would create a Unified Register of Missing Persons to merge records from different agencies and standardize data for searches and identification.
  • It would make the Gabinete de Búsqueda a permanent high-level body that coordinates work across authorities.
  • The measure would write the Centro de Atención Integral into law to house search operations, legal aid, and psychosocial care for families.
  • The plan adds public performance indicators and formal reporting to Congress to enforce oversight and track results.
