US Indictment Forces Mexican Sinaloa Officials to Step Aside Over Cartel Ties

The United States charged Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya, Culiacán Mayor Juan de Dios Gámez Mendívil, and eight others from Morena with drug-trafficking linked to the Sinaloa cartel. Rocha and Gámez Mendívil will take 30-day leaves of absence and lose immunity, with interim governor Yeraldine Bonilla Valverde stepping in; Senator Enrique Inzunza will remain in the Senate. Mexico’s president and attorney general are overseeing the inquiry, and Sheinbaum stressed Mexico’s sovereignty and promised to pursue individuals if proven guilty.

US and Mexico tighten immigration policies to address border crisis.

The US-Mexico migration deal to curb the surge of migrants arriving at the US doorstep could further overwhelm border cities already struggling to cope. The agreement suggests a significant policy shift on migration between both nations, with Mexico accepting migrants from Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba, and Nicaragua who are turned away from the US. The change means the United States could increasingly rely on Mexico to accept deportees from countries other than Mexico, piling further pressure on border cities already struggling with large migrant populations. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of migrants are already on their way to Mexico and the US after having crossed through the deadly Darién Gap between Panama and Colombia.
