Mexico is entering uncharted territory in its connection with its northern neighbor, as a result of the current US request to apprehend the governor of Sinaloa, Ruben Rocha Moya, who they allege has links to drug trafficking.

Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum is facing a "turning stage" in the diplomatic relationship with the United States, according to Andres Sumano, a scientist at the Colegio de la Frontera Norte, who spoke to EFE on Saturday. The Justice Department indicted the government and nine different high-ranking authorities in Sinaloa.

This extradition plea against Rocha Moya, who is affiliated with Sheinbaum, poses "problems in every way" for Mexico, according to the safety expert, who calls it a "very solid blast" to the federal government and its assistance technique with the White House, especially now that President Donald Trump has returned.

Additionally, it presents a significant" challenge" to Mexico's security strategy, which has recently had "very notable" outcomes, such as the murder of the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel ( CJNG ). " El Mencho" and" El Jardinero," his alleged replacement, were detained last week.

It is up to Sheinbaum to decide after the first shock, he added, to decide what to do next. Sumano said that Sheinbaum simply has three options: to "protect" this group of politicians, which "is what she seems to be doing," to hand them over to the United States, or to start legal action against them in Mexico.

" This last one seems to me, so far, to be the best choice of all those she has," he said, but it will certainly lead to internal divisions within Morena ( the ruling party ) at the moment.

He believes the president has decided to "buy moment" by repeatedly citing the need for data and relying on the Public Prosecutor's Office's ruling. Although there will come a point when the deadlines may arrive and the US administration's patience may be tested.

" A very strong punch,"

The scholar warned that this would lead to a number of sanctions from the US government in the event that Mexico chooses certainly to hand over the government of Sinaloa.

From financial pressure to the most extraordinary situation, the doctor at El Colegio de la Frontera Norte believes it is unlikely that Washington will intervene by sending military staff to get the politician away.

In fact, since the existing one is exclusive to Sinaloa, he does not rule out the possibility of similar proceedings being started against another high-level officials.

Sumano stated that the allegation against the condition officials is elegant and has been reviewed by a jury who determines there is ample evidence to obtain the order despite the standard discourse. of imprisonment

This is a pretty strong blast because it is no longer a matter of narrative, he said. " The cases have already been compiled, they have already gone through a grand jury, and there is now a conventional indictment. "
