Thread: MEX govt refuses to disclose bi-lateral info about Elvira

The Mexican Government under order of the Mexican Congress must disclose publicly information regarding various cases. But the Federal Institute of Access to Information (IFAI) has instructed the Secretary of Foreign Affairs to censure information about the Elvira Arellano case, between the Mexican Government and the U.S. government. They are affraid that if this information is made public, the media will learn how far the Mexican Government is meddling and that could "affect diplomatic relations" according to Alonso Lujambio and Jacqueline Peschard, two agents from the IFAI.

The Federal Institute of Access to Information (IFAI) instructed the Office of the secretary of Foreign Affairs (SRE) to diffuse a public version of the expedient about the activist Elvira Arellano, deported from the U.S. in 2007.

In that version it should be included the communications emitted between the American and Mexican governments, but eliminating information that might be able "to affect the diplomatic relations", according to a proposal from Alonso Lujambio and Jacqueline Peschard.

The instruction agreed with aunanimous vote by the four agents of the IFAI, after revoking the classification that the SRE had established. One must emphasize that that agency sent the applicant of that data to its electronic page, so the person could revised the bulletins on that case.

According to the agent speaker of case 4818/07, Alonso Gómez Robledo, the information that the SRE delivered to the IFAI, "does not have evidences that are removed" that justify the classification, except for personal data.

Nevertheless, Lujambio and Peschard insisted on classifying contained data in the communiqués exchanged by both countries. Peschard said that this "protected diplomatic relations", therefore with the diffusion "they would be informed of that relations take place". Although the agent Juan Pablo Guerrero disputed how relations would be affected, when all that information has been diffused (even at international scale), it was impossed – despite the fact that the speaker said that he "did not seem it necessary– the elaboration of public versions.

If they're worried about information getting out that would effect diplomatic relations with our government, they are obviously up to more than our government is aware of. Or more than they hope our governmnet is aware of anyway.

My guess is that if the comuniquee's are made public, the Mexican press will report how far the Mexican government went to help Elvira. Those reports could reach the American press and report that to the American people, which could potentialy hurt Mexico's image which they desperatly want to change in order to obtain Immigration reform. Elvira was dispised by the American people and the Calderon adm. knows it. They want to erase any connections with her and any supress any information that exposes their intentions to help a deported illegal alien mexican who flaunted U.S. immigration laws.

I wouldn't worry about it, she will spill the beans on her own, to get more attention.

I’m not sure what is really going on but I do have to ask this; Why are they calling Elvira Arellano an [color=red]“activistâ€

If they sneak Elvira back into the U.S., I hope ICE catches her ASAP and deports her behind out of here pronto!

What happened to that other Elvira wanna-be held up in the Chicago church?

She got scared off after the press noted her. ICE implied they were not going to let another person mock them for another year. Not sure where she went!

If that freeloading scofflaw ever,ever sets foot upon US Soil and is apprehended, she needs to be prosecuted to the FULLEST EXTENT allowed under Federal Law!
