The Congress of Sinaloa backed 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, resulting in his decision to relinquish power once more after backing by Sinaloa lawmakers.
In a separate update, Mexico restarted restricted cattle exports to the United States. Livestock trade stopped previously because of a screwworm pause. The restart of small-scale cattle shipments provides support to Mexican ranchers struggling with the trade halt.
