Sinaloa Governor Rocha dismisses resignation amid US drug trafficking accusations.

Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha has rejected calls to resign following U.S. Justice Department accusations linking him to drug trafficking. He maintained his innocence, stating "Let's not anticipate things." President Claudia Sheinbaum asserted that Mexico will not permit foreign interference and will only proceed with extradition if "conclusive evidence" is presented against Rocha.


La presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum remarcó que las autoridades deben proceder con la solicitud de extraditar a Rubén Rocha a EU solo si se presentan pruebas 'contundentes' contra el gobernador de Sinaloa. <p><a href="https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/nacional/2026/04/30/asi-fue-la-llamada-entre-sheinbaum-y-rocha-moya-tras-acusacion-de-eu-no-hay-nada-que-temer/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" title="https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/nacional/2026/04/30/asi-fue-la-llamada-entre-sheinbaum-y-rocha-moya-t...
