Day 696 — Sheinbaum Meets Ayotzinapa Families, Pledges Public Report Before Sept 26 Anniversary

On August 28, 2026 (Day 696, Friday), President Sheinbaum met with families of the 43 missing Ayotzinapa normalistas and called the case "una prioridad de Estado," pledging to exhaust remaining investigative lines, accelerate telephone-communication analysis, and press foreign governments — particularly the United States — to complete pending extraditions, including that of a judge implicated in 2014, Ulises Bernabé. She committed to delivering a public report to the families before September 26, the case's 12-year anniversary, covering new arrests and progress across four priority investigative lines. Sheinbaum said the families "se mostraron muy receptivos y acordamos seguir avanzando"; to date only three of the 43 students' remains have been identified.
