During her morning press conference at Palacio Nacional, Sheinbaum stated that Rocha Moya is currently in Culiac\u00e1n and is \u201clocatable,\u201d clarifying that he is not under surveillance.  <\/p>\n<p>This confirmation comes amid ongoing scrutiny after the United States accused Rocha Moya of connections to drug trafficking. His name also surfaced in relation to the July 25, 2024, capture of Ismael \u201cMayo\u201d Zambada at a private airport in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, near El Paso, Texas. Zambada\u2019s arrest reportedly involved a betrayal and kidnapping orchestrated by Joaqu\u00edn Guzm\u00e1n L\u00f3pez, son of the infamous Joaqu\u00edn \u201cEl Chapo\u201d Guzm\u00e1n.  <\/p>\n<p>While these allegations cast a shadow over Rocha Moya\u2019s political career, the situation highlights the complex challenges facing governance and security in regions like Sinaloa. For many residents and migrants connected to these areas, understanding the political landscape is crucial, especially as Mexico continues to explore innovative infrastructure projects like cable cars and telef\u00e9ricos to improve urban mobility and social inclusion. These initiatives represent a hopeful step toward addressing systemic issues through state-led efforts that prioritize accessibility and community well-being.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-x\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LuisCardenasMx\/status\/2074511045138198755\"><\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday, July 7, 2026, Mexico City\u2019s President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed the whereabouts of Rub\u00e9n Rocha Moya, the former governor of Sinaloa who stepped down following serious allegations.
