Mexico’s President Sheinbaum reshuffles legal and security leadership in 2025
Mexico’s government has reshuffled key roles in its legal and security teams. Two high-profile positions changed hands, with new leaders stepping into the Attorney General’s Office and the Presidential Legal Counsel. President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed no further cabinet changes will occur this year.
The changes began when Alejandro Gertz Manero resigned as Attorney General. His departure opened the way for Ernestina Godoy to take over the role. Godoy had previously worked as Presidential Legal Counsel, a position she left to lead the FGR.
Her move created a vacancy, which Esthela Damián Peralta filled. Peralta had earlier served as Undersecretary for Violence Prevention in the Security and Citizen Protection Ministry. Now, she takes on the responsibilities of Presidential Legal Counsel.
Meanwhile, Miguel Torruco Garza joined the federal cabinet as the new Undersecretary for Prevention within the same ministry. The government has not yet announced a replacement for Peralta’s former role.
The reshuffle marks a shift in Mexico’s legal and security leadership. With Godoy now heading the FGR and Peralta advising the president, the administration has finalised its cabinet adjustments for 2025. No additional changes are expected before the year’s end.
