On July 15, 2026, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) issued two relevant resolutions on the labor relationship of the staff of the Attorney General's Office (FGR).
In the first case, the full court determined that the Federal Court of Administrative Justice (TFJA) has jurisdiction over lawsuits filed by substantive personnel of the Attorney General's Office (FGR) challenging the termination of their administrative relationship, such as the non-renewal of their appointments, as well as the payment of related benefits. The issue arose because several chambers of the TFJA had declared themselves incompetent, arguing that the FGR, as an autonomous constitutional body, was not part of the federal public administration. The Court concluded that the "affinity" jurisdiction already granted to administrative courts in disputes involving the separation of security and law enforcement institutions must be applied, since the FGR's autonomy cannot be interpreted as leaving decisions regarding its personnel without judicial oversight. It also clarified that claiming additional benefits does not alter the administrative nature of the employment relationship. Consequently, it ordered the TFJA to admit and process these lawsuits.
In the second case, the Court ruled that Guidelines L/003/19, which regulate personnel who transitioned from the former PGR to the FGR, remain in effect until the FGR's Professional Career Service Regulations are published. The matter arose from a challenge filed by a member of the Federal Ministerial Police against his separation procedure. The Court concluded that these guidelines are part of the transitional regime and have not lost their validity with the 2021 FGR Law.
Both resolutions were issued on July 7, 2026: Direct Amparos 53, 50 and 51 (all from 2025) for the first case, and Amparo en Revisión 107/2026 for the second.
