The U.S. Justice Department has announced the indictment of a Mexican governor from the state of Sinaloa. The charges include drug trafficking and weapons offenses. Nine other individuals were also named in the indictment.
Prosecutors allege the governor conspired with the Sinaloa Cartel. This action creates a significant challenge for Mexico, which faces the decision of whether to extradite its officials to the United States or potentially risk angering President Trump.
Mexico has reportedly responded to the charges by questioning the presented proof. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
