After a control judge released those probably responsible for the murder of Lorenzo Gabriel Pico Escobar, federal agent of the National Institute of Migration (INM), the agency announced that it will request the visitation of the Chihuahua Attorney General’s Office to review the case, and will file a complaint with the Federal Judiciary Council to determine if the action was appropriate
of the judge. On April 15, Pico Escobar, INM’s northwestern local delegate, together with two ministerial agents from Chihuahua, were fired on by hitmen of organized crime
when they were traveling on the Janos-Ascension highway, as part of a service commission, detailed the Institute. Francisco Garduño Yáñez, commissioner of the INM, yesterday attended the funeral organized privately by the relatives of the immigration agent.
