  • Chihuahua Governor Maru Campos claims she has received death threats from the federal government.
  • She alleges the federal government is using a case involving American agents' deaths to persecute her.
  • Campos stated she is not afraid and will continue to defend Chihuahua, criticizing the federal administration as the "government of death."

Chihuahua Governor Maru Campos has publicly stated that she has received death threats directed at her, her property, and her family from the federal government. Speaking from Hidalgo del Parral, Campos asserted that she is not intimidated and remains committed to defending the state of Chihuahua.

Campos linked the threats to a case involving American agents who died in Chihuahua months prior. She suggested that the Attorney General's Office (FGR) had initially shelved the case but believes it could be used against her again. "Everyone is subject to persecution, it already happened in my case, when they saw that many people were waking up in the country, they decided to keep the case. For a while, because I am sure that they will return through the FGR to persecute Maru Campos," she stated.

For a while, because I am sure that they will return through the FGR to persecute Maru Campos. I have already received several threats in writing and several situations have occurred against me, against my property, against my family, and they will continue.

"I have already received several threats in writing and several situations have occurred against me, against my property, against my family, and they will continue," Campos Galván added. She described the threats not as mere words but as official documents aimed at violating her rights as governor, though she did not elaborate on the specifics.

Campos reiterated her criticism of the ruling MORENA party and the federal administration, labeling them the "government of death." She accused them of neglecting mothers searching for missing persons, failing to provide cancer medications, and maintaining an alliance with organized crime, allowing criminal groups to operate openly due to mutual protection between authorities and cartels.
