On April 29, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton and Administrator of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Terrance C. Cole unsealed bombshell charges of drug trafficking against the sitting governor of Mexico’s state of Sinaloa Rubén Rocha Moya, along with nine other significant Mexican political figures and officials. Along with the indictment, the U.S. requested that those indicted be arrested for the purpose of extradition to the U.S. to face charges, Governor Rocha among them, and the “word” is out that more indictments of state governors are in the works.
Ten days before, a scandal broke out in Mexico when two CIA agents died in a car accident in the northern state of Chihuahua while returning with Mexican officials from a raid on clandestine methamphetamine labs. President Claudia Sheinbaum has emphatically rejected President Donald Trump’s repeated overtures pressing that U.S. military and police forces be given permission to operate in Mexico, purportedly to fight drugs; Sheinbaum has responded by asserting Mexico’s sovereignty and ability to combat drugs nationally. It turned out that the governor of Chihuahua, of the opposition PAN party, had secretly allowed the CIA to operate in that state, in direct violation of Mexico’s well-known strict laws against foreign citizens participating in law enforcement, public security, or military activities within Mexico.
Now Sheinbaum finds herself at the center of an orchestrated destabilization designed to either bring her totally to heel, or topple her government: If she refuses to extradite Rocha and continues to deny Americans permission to operate freely inside the country, she will be denounced for being allied to drug interests; if she folds and grants everything Trump is demanding, Mexico’s sovereignty is gone—along with control of its significant oil industry and other valuable raw materials.
