Two members of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s party in Sinaloa state have temporarily stepped down after the U.S. charged them with drug trafficking. Gov. Rubén Rocha Moya, the highest-ranking official named, denied the accusations of protecting the Sinaloa cartel. He announced at midnight on Friday a temporary leave to defend himself and cooperate with investigations. Juan de Dios Gámez Mendívil, mayor of Culiacán, also stepped down. Sheinbaum says there’s no credible evidence against Rocha but vows Mexican authorities will investigate. Rocha claims the indictment is an attack on his political movement. As governor, Rocha has immunity from prosecution unless impeached.
