A Mexican legislator openly challenged a federal judge who issued an injunction to keep the congress of a border state from meeting.
The move came after the judge reportedly tried to prosecute various politicians for meeting and voting on legislative measures.
“I have not committed any crime,” Fernandez told Breitbart Texas. “I have only done my job, represent the people of my state.” The incident began on June 4 when an unnamed federal judge from the Second District for Administrative Matters issued an injunction against the Nuevo Leon Congress to keep them from holding a voting session. The legislators were preparing to debate and vote on whether a state financial crimes investigation unit and a taxing entity should remain under the control of a sitting governor or if they should become independent.
