Brazil Supreme Court justice gives Mendonça 72h to respond on PF director removal

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Fachin has given Justice Minister Mendonça 72 hours to respond to the Attorney General's Office (AGU) regarding the removal of the Federal Police (PF) director. The AGU argues the removal violates the President's exclusive competence, signaling a potential institutional conflict between the judiciary and executive. The outcome could affect the balance of power and the independence of federal law enforcement.
