It says that once the law takes effect, foreigners can be detained if they fail to carry immigration documents. While enforcement details are not yet clear, the alert says "it should be assumed that any Mexican citizen could be bothered and questioned ..."

With a caveat... "But remember, if and when one 'our' judges overturns the law, it's back to doing what the hell we want."

This is required of foreigners in a great many countries, including, I believe, Mexico.
