The Congress of Sinaloa endorsed the second removal of Governor Ruben Rocha from his post. The governor is dealing with formal drug trafficking charges from authorities in the United States. United States law enforcement investigated Ruben Rocha, leading to his decision to step aside once more after the vote by Sinaloa lawmakers.
In a separate update, Mexico restarted controlled cattle exports to the United States. Livestock trade stopped previously because of a screwworm suspension. The return of limited cattle shipments provides support to Mexican ranchers struggling with the trade halt.
