| People Cheer Mexican Governor's Resignation After Being Charged by USDOJ as Narco |
| 2026-05-06 |
| [Breitbart] Hundreds of people are planning a major celebration in the Mexican city of Culiacan, Sinaloa, over the resignation of the state’s cartel-connected governor, who is now a fugitive wanted by the U.S. Department of Justice. The celebration is set to take place this week outside of the Governor’s Office, where organizers are asking citizens to be respectful, bring their grills to share a meal, and ask for a better state. The celebration comes soon after Sinaloa’s cartel-connected Governor Ruben Rocha Moya announced he was stepping down from his post to deal with a series of federal charges filed by the U.S. Department of Justice, which accused him of having aligned himself with the Sinaloa Cartel in exchange for money and political power. As Breitbart Texas reported, the charges are part of a large criminal indictment linking Rocha Moya and 9 of his closest associates with organized crime. The issue is expected to grow to eventually include more Mexican politicians, particularly from the ruling party MORENA. Rather than work with U.S. authorities, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has denounced the case against Rocha Moya, claiming that they have no evidence of him having done any wrongdoing, Breitbart Texas reported. Her response, hidden in legalize, has aligned her with the Morena party rather than working with the Trump Administration to eradicate cartels. Ruben Rocha Moya, the governor of Sinaloa, had become highly disliked during his term due to the raging violence that had fallen over his state under the reign of terror of his alleged masters, the Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel. As Breitbart Texas has reported, that faction has been waging a fierce turf war with their former allies, the Mayiza faction, since the summer of 2024, when the leaders of Los Chapitos kidnapped Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and turned him over to U.S. authorities.
