Genaro García Luna, the former Mexican Secretary of Public Security, is currently imprisoned in the United States and has been granted an additional 90 days by a federal court in New York to file an appeal against his 38-year prison sentence for drug trafficking charges. His defense team has raised concerns about his treatment in custody, alleging "extreme" mistreatment including poor nutrition that has resulted in a 14-kilogram weight loss, denial of basic hygiene such as showering and shaving, and being forced to eat without utensils. They also highlighted his lack of communication access while detained. The extension is intended to allow more time for his legal team to challenge the conviction and to seek an end to his isolation. Separately, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a habeas corpus petition in a different case involving Salvadoran journalist Mario Guevara, emphasizing protections against arbitrary detention.
