Mexico's lawsuit against US gun manufacturers heads to Supreme Court

Mexico is set to present its lawsuit against eight U.S. Firearms manufacturers at the Supreme Court on March 4, as stated by Pablo Arrocha, legal consultant for the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Mexico's lawsuit claims that U.S. Gun manufacturers have contributed to arms trafficking, with 70% to 90% of guns found at crime scenes linked to the U.S.
The Supreme Court is reviewing a federal appeals court ruling that allowed the case to proceed after a lower court dismissed it, according to a November 2024 brief from gun manufacturers.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced plans for reforms to prosecute those involved in illegal arms activities, calling this case a potential for broader legal strategies.
