Sheinbaum Says FGR Will Assess Halliday Complaint, 22 Oct

What happened
The family of Richard Halliday, a US Army private who went missing in 2020, has filed a complaint with the federal prosecutor's office (FGR) accusing Chihuahua's governor, Maru Campos, of lying about knowing of US agents in the area and a prosecutor of interfering in the search. The FGE has rejected a report linking Halliday to the April 2026 operation, calling it false. The FGR has not commented on the complaint.
Why it matters
The case involves a US soldier who went missing in 2020 and a governor who has denied knowledge of US agents in the area. The outcome of the FGR's assessment may shape what US agencies do in the region. The case may also be of interest to families of other missing US service members.
