    Mexican Influencer Samuel Adrián Arrested in Colombia for Contempt of Court

    Mexican content creator Samuel Adrián was arrested at Bogotá's El Dorado International Airport on Sunday, September 13, 2026, following an arrest warrant issued by a Cali court for contempt. The arrest stems from a contempt incident related to content published by Adrián on his YouTube channel, specifically his documentary 'Colombia: factory of transgender children'. The documentary addresses medical treatments and protocols linked to gender transition in children and adolescents in Colombia, sparking debates among political sectors, LGBTIQ+ rights organizations, health specialists, and critical groups. Adrián was taken to a police station within the airport while authorities advanced with the protocol for this type of judicial decisions. The National Police stated that the measure does not equate to an arrest for the alleged commission of a crime but rather an arrest order issued within a contempt process.
