The Congress of Sinaloa officially approved the second removal of Governor Ruben Rocha from his office. The governor currently faces alleged drug trafficking charges from authorities in the United States. United States law enforcement investigated Ruben Rocha, prompting his decision to relinquish power once more following the approval by Sinaloa lawmakers.
In a separate update, Mexico resumed limited cattle exports to the United States. Livestock trade had been paused because of a screwworm suspension. The restart of small-scale cattle shipments offers welcome respite to Mexican ranchers struggling with the cross-border freeze.
