On April 5, local time, the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Mexico had suspended diplomatic relations with the Ecuadorian government because Ecuadorian police forcibly entered the Mexican Embassy in Ecuador and detained former Ecuadorian Vice President Grasse who sought asylum at the embassy. This act was a flagrant violation of international law and Mexico's sovereignty. The Ecuadorian Presidential Palace issued a statement earlier that former Vice President Jorge Grasse Espinel, who was convicted by the Ecuadorian judicial system, was arrested that night. Glass served as former President Correa's deputy from 2013 to 2017 and has been in the Mexican Embassy in Ecuador since applying for political asylum in Mexico on December 17 last year. On the 5th, Mexico asked Glass to leave Ecuador within the framework of the Diplomatic Asylum Convention. Ecuador's Ministry of Foreign Affairs subsequently issued a statement announcing that it would not provide safe passage for Grasse. That night, Ecuadorian police broke into the Mexican Embassy in Ecuador and took away Grasse. The country's presidential palace subsequently issued a statement announcing Glass's arrest. **
