A federal judge ordered the National Guard to stop sanctions against Uber drivers at Mexico's airports, according to the company. This comes amid taxi protests that blocked AICM accesses on March 11 to demand a ban on ride-hailing apps. The demonstrations ended after dialogue, but taxi drivers threaten to escalate actions before the 2026 World Cup.

An 18-year-old suspect appeared in court on Tuesday for his role in the fatal shooting of Uber driver Joshua Kelvin nearly two years ago. Prosecutors described the attack as a planned ambush on two teenage passengers. The driver was killed and one passenger seriously injured in Portland, Oregon.
