Prisoner swap prep near Mexico City eyed by US Congress
Preparations proceed to move imprisoned Americans as soon as enabling legislation passes. Sixteen Americans have been moved to Mexico City from southwest prisons, with transfers to continue in several detention centers along the border and in Guadalajara. Agency head Cesar Lechuga Rojas cites possible September passage and notes the process will occur in stages, not all at once, as both nations ratify a treaty allowing sentences to be served in home countries. Some prisoners may choose to remain in Mexico, while others face delays and hunger strikes as pressure mounts for quick passage.
