Hundreds of protesters stormed Mexico’s Senate Tuesday, disrupting debate on a highly contested judiciary overhaul measure. This came just hours after the Morena ruling party garnered enough votes to pass the proposed court reform, which would see judges, including those on the Mexican Supreme Court, be elected by the people. The move has been championed by outgoing Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who says the reform would crack down on corruption across courts. Critics argue the plan could threaten judicial independence.
