Multiple Bomb Threats Evacuate Key Judicial Buildings in Mexico City

Approximately 600 people were evacuated from the Ciudad Judicial judicial complex in Colonia Doctores, Mexico City, on February 26, 2026, following bomb threats linked to the criminal group CJNG, according to El Financiero. Specialized personnel, including Grupo Zorros, conducted security inspections and closed surrounding streets to guarantee public safety. Authorities reported no explosives were found, and no injuries occurred during the evacuation.

Concurrently, at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México’s CCH Sur campus, security measures were heightened after a threat posted on social media referenced weapons, prompting the activation of an institutional safety protocol, as detailed by López Doriga Digital. Classes continued without interruption while investigations into the incident proceeded. Aristegui Noticias confirmed that security at the educational facility was reinforced but no evacuation took place.

Further reports from La Jornada identified a separate false bomb threat at the Federal Judiciary Building in Mexico City, which likely contributed to the heightened alertness at judicial sites across the capital. El Financiero indicated that this false alarm was part of a series of threats received within the same day, including a prior false alert at Torre Prisma.

These incidents reflect a significant concern over coordinated threats targeting key government and educational buildings in Mexico City, with ties to the CJNG criminal organization being investigated by federal authorities. The coordinated nature of the threats has triggered increased security protocols citywide.

Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely as investigations into the source and connections of these threats develop. Upcoming decisions on enhanced security measures at judicial and educational institutions are expected to impact operational procedures in Mexico City’s government facilities going forward.
