Human rights lawyers wonder who will issue vital documents now that Ecuador has closed its diplomatic missions on Mexican territory in protest over last month’s assault on the embassy in Quito

The recent assault by Ecuadorian police on the Mexican Embassy in Quito is also having an effect on the thousands of Ecuadorians who are in Mexican territory trying to cross into the United States.

As of May 16, the Ecuadorian consulates in the Mexican capital and in Monterrey will close their doors after the breakdown of relations between both governments. The move comes one month after Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa gave the order to break into the Mexican diplomatic mission to detain former vice-president Jorge Glas, who was seeking a safe conduct to Mexico as a political asylum seeker, but is now being held in at La Roca maximum security prison in Guayaquil.

Jorge Glad seems genuinely corrupt and likely belongs in prison. Mexico probably would've handed the guy over after fully evaluating his asylum claim. Ecuador made a serious mistake breaking in to the Mexican Embassy, imo. Looks like Nicaragua followed Mexico in breaking off diplomatic ties with Ecuador too
