Mexican authorities cannot arrest you solely on a Red Notice, as it is not an international arrest warrant. However, if the requesting country asks for provisional arrest with a view to extradition and a Mexican federal judge issues a provisional arrest warrant, detention becomes lawful. Mexico’s Ley de Extradición Internacional requires the requesting state to submit a formal extradition package within 60 days of provisional arrest. During this window, challenging the underlying Red Notice through the CCF can be strategically critical to weaken the extradition basis.
