TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -

The Mexican Consulate of Tucson says it has seen an increase in calls about immigration bullying to its nationwide hotline.

The 24-hour call center takes calls from people across the country calling about a variety of issues, from legal help to finding missing family members.

Mexican officials say many of those calls are from people who say they are being bullied because of their immigration status.
They say it includes things like taunting, slurs, social exclusion and sometimes physical abuse.

If ignored, the consulate says bullying can lead to depression, behavioral problems and even suicide.

That's why Mexico's government launched a nationwide anti-bullying campaign that includes public service announcements.

Ricardo Pineda says the goal is to bring awareness to the issue and to let people know there's help available.
"No one should be subject to this specific activity. Bullying itself is an ugly human treatment for somebody who doesn't deserve it," he said.

People can visit the consulate in person or call the 24/7 hotline at 1-855-4636-395.

MEXICO CITY

After the criticism received by groups defending human rights by the resolution endorsing police inspections if judicial order, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) said that its criterion does not imply that a police officer can check people and vehicles at whim.

Through an information card it was emphasized that the agent can practice an inspection only if he has a reasonable suspicion that the person who matches the characteristics reported, is at that moment committing a crime or that is not visible to the naked eye.

Also if in the course of an investigation information is obtained from a subject that, based on the complaint and other investigative acts, fits into the descriptions and facts, so any inspection performed outside of these parameters will be illegal and arbitrary. .

The police can only perform these acts of inspection, if and only if, it is already in the framework of a criminal investigation. This occurs when there is a aouncement of facts, even if it is formal before the MP or the Police, or informal directly before the security agents.

"This is how the police act all over the world. It is not an exclusive concept of Mexico. Several international courts have adopted this as a guide for the action of the police, "said the highest court.

In addition, in the text released on Wednesday afternoon, it was stressed that the rules and parameters that are given in the decision of the Court are general guidelines and in no way justify or authorize arbitrary actions by the police.

During the sessions on Monday and Tuesday, a minority group of ministers pointed out that the National Code of Criminal Procedures norm that empowers the police to inspect people when they have evidence that conceals instruments, objects or products related to the crime being investigated is unconstitutional.
