Eight of Mexico's 11 Supreme Court judges have submitted their resignations following controversial judicial reforms, the top court said Wednesday.

Mexico's Supreme Court began debating the constitutionality of a controversial judicial overhaul on Tuesday, nearly two months after lawmakers passed the reform that would require the election of all judges over the next few years.

President Claudia Sheinbaum says she won’t comply with any ruling made by the Supreme Court over a judicial system shake-up.
