The Congress of Sinaloa officially approved the second removal of Governor Ruben Rocha from his post. The governor confronts serious drug trafficking charges from authorities in the United States. United States law enforcement targeted Ruben Rocha, leading to his decision to stand down once more after backing by Sinaloa lawmakers.
In a separate update, Mexico resumed controlled cattle exports to the United States. Livestock trade was halted earlier because of a screwworm pause. The resumption of small-scale cattle shipments provides support to Mexican ranchers struggling with the export stoppage.
