The Congress of Sinaloa endorsed the second removal of Governor Ruben Rocha from his position. The governor is dealing with alleged drug trafficking charges from authorities in the United States. United States law enforcement focused on Ruben Rocha, prompting his decision to stand down once more after the vote by Sinaloa lawmakers.
In a separate update, Mexico resumed controlled cattle exports to the United States. Livestock trade stopped previously because of a screwworm pause. The restart of small-scale cattle shipments brings relief to Mexican ranchers impacted by the trade halt.
