MC Seeks Removal of Immunity for Sinaloa Governor Over US Accusations

Movimiento Ciudadano has requested the federal Congress to initiate a process to strip Sinaloa Governor Ruben Rocha Moya and nine other officials of their immunity. This follows accusations by US authorities of alleged ties to organized crime, specifically the Sinaloa Cartel. The party argues that these officials must face investigations without constitutional protection, citing a 'severe crisis' in Mexico-US relations due to the allegations.
