How to unlock the Objection! achievement in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Definitive Guide
The information needed to refute Mejia can be found in two pocket secretaries. The first has information about a suspicious schedule change request. You find it when you enter Processing and search the drawers to the right of Orin Kepac's computer. The computer is inside one of two office areas of a large shelter that spans the processing area. The drawers may appear to be blocked by an inmate who moves over in front of them but they can still be searched. The second pocket secretary has information about an automated security console being hacked to target Wilburg and suggests that Mejia was the hacker. This pocket secretary is in a safe in the Automated Security Office. To ensure the achievement unlocks, make sure you access Adam's database and read these two pocket secretaries either when they are acquired or at some other point before you confront Mejia. Attached is a video guide for the achievement edited to avoid story-related spoilers except for those implied by the achievement description. It starts right after the first meeting with Mejia that occurs automatically through story progression:
There is some optional evidence, too--a hacking device near the crime scene, Wilburg's corpse with heart removed, and an augmented heart--presumably Wilburg's since it was recently removed. The additional evidence is not required for the achievement but is part of the larger story surrounding the goings-on in the prison. Moreover, although these are clues, they are not necessarily evidence that directly refutes Mejia:
The above video shows how to get the two required clues and two of the three optional clues. The third optional clue is picked up earlier in the video that accompanies this guide:

IMPORTANT: Take note, however, that you must have already found and collected two specific Pocket Secretaries before speaking to Mejia here. If you don't have both Pocket Secretaries, you cannot press him on the murder.
The first of these items can be found on the table near an inmate who is smoking in the Security Hub in Processing (Tower, Level 2). The second Pocket Secretary can be found in an unlocked safe under a desk in the Automated Security Office just outside of Solitary Confinement (Tower, Level 5). Make sure to read the Pocket Secretaries when you pick them up.
Once you have both items, proceed with your objective to free Mejia from Solitary Confinement. During the dialogue sequence, choose the option that reads, "Wilburg's Murder?" and Mejia will try to deflect the question. Given that you have proof from both Pocket Secretaries, Jensen will press him on his lies, leading the man to confess the murder and thus unlocking the achievement.
In order to do this you need to find two pocket secretaries prior to letting Mejia out of solitary. After the riot starts and you head toward the main administration building, there is a central internal courtyard between the two main towers. At the bottom of the courtyard, in the center, is a white security building (if coming from the side with the morgue and solitary, get off the elevator at Observation...you'll see it over the balcony, one floor below you). Inside this building, you'll find a pocket secretary inside a desk drawer about changing Mejia's work schedule.
To get the second pocket secretary, take the elevator that goes to the morgue and to solitary confinement all the way to the top floor (the floor is automated defense or something like that). Go into the security room more or less across from the elevator doors and find an unlocked safe with a bunch of items, including a pocket secretary which discusses how Mejia had access to the drone security.
With these two items in hand, you can then let Mejia out of solitary (you can get to it directly across the bridge from where the second pocket secretary was found; dodge the guards and drones and sneak in through a vent) and confront him about the murder to unlock the achievement. Without both of these items you can accuse him, but he won't admit to it.

This trophy is obtained quite late into the DLC, when you find Mejia after he gets sent to Solitary. The way to get Mejia to confess is via dialogue and it requires you to find 2 Pocket Secretaries (PS) first (thanks to Iceyice & Ace of Toads for confirming this). Once you have both PS and find Mejia, he will automatically confess once you confront him about Wilburg. See below for the locations of the 2 PS.
PS #1: Found in a drawer behind an inmate who is leaning against it. The drawer is inside the security office, a large white-walled room in a large hall. The entire floor is called Processing, the story waypoint marker will lead you there. You reach this area after the riot happens and you leave Cell Block B, and is also the place you got implanted with the chip to inhibit your augs at the beginning.
PS #2: The same building, but at the top floor. Once you arrive at the office room at the top floor, you see several laptops. Under one desk is a safe, which holds the 2nd PS.
In order to obtain this achievement, you must confront Mejia about Wilburg's murder when speaking to him in Solitary Confinement. Take note, however, that you must have already found and collected two specific Pocket Secretaries before speaking to Mejia here. If you don't have both Pocket Secretaries, you cannot press him on the murder.
The first of these items can be found within a drawer of the table inside the Security Hub in Processing (Tower, Level 2). The second Pocket Secretary can be found in an unlocked safe under a desk in the Automated Security Office just outside of Solitary Confinement (Tower, Level 5). Make sure to read the Pocket Secretaries when you pick them up.
Once you have both items, proceed with your objective to free Mejia from Solitary Confinement. Upon opening his cell door, during the dialogue sequence, choose the option that reads "Wilburg's Murder?" and Mejia will try to deflect the question. Given that you have proof from both Pocket Secretaries now, Jensen will insist he comes clean, leading the man to confess about the murder and thus unlocking the achievement.

Only in the video the guy didn’t show where he got the first pocket secretary about changing Mejia’s schedule. He showed it himself in front of the second one from the Tower Level 5, but did not specify where it was =)
It is in a desk drawer in the same tower on level 2 - in the center of the hall there are offices fenced with a white accordion. There in one of the offices - in a desk drawer.
Both pocket secretaries.
Both secretaries are located in the "Tower" location.
1. The first one is on the second floor. In the center of the room on this floor there are two white rooms with a corridor between them. The secretary is in the eastern room in a box next to the security terminal. The message is called "Change in schedule: Mejia, Oscar."
2. The second one is on the fifth floor inside an open safe under a table next to the security terminal. Praxis lies there too. The message is called "Log of commands from turrets."
Having gathered the secretaries, we free Mejia from solitary confinement and in the conversation choose the option “kill Wilberg”.
