Vera said the defense team was not allowed to speak with Glas while he was at the prosecutor's office, and it is now working to file a habeas corpus petition.

Authorities are investigating Glas over alleged irregularities during his management of reconstruction efforts following a powerful earthquake in 2016 that killed hundreds of people. He was convicted on bribery and corruption charges in other cases.

The office of Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa defended the raid in a statement, saying “Ecuador is a sovereign nation" that will not “allow any criminal to stay free.” López Obrador fired back, calling Glas' detention an “authoritarian act” and “a flagrant violation of international law and the sovereignty of Mexico.”

No harm. Ecuador has its currency pegged on the US dollar, rather it has its currency as the US dollar. It supposedly is a republic, but that is doubtful. They are dependent on export of bananas, the world's largest producer. Mexico is the largest US trade partner. They will not miss Ecuador. Mexico is only one of latin Americas problem children, next to all the rest.

Does this mean that Mexico will finally secure it’s southern border?

Corrupt or not. You don’t send cops into a foreign embassy.

Just think of the police as illegal immigrants. There shouldn’t be a problem.

Embassies are obsolete. Close them all and close the border with Mexico. Advise all Americans they travel to Mexico at their own risk.
