  • Morenista deputies in Chihuahua have requested a political impeachment trial against Governor Maru Campos.

Deputies from the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) in Chihuahua have formally requested a political impeachment trial against Governor Maru Campos. The move follows the reported deaths of U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) elements during a local operation to dismantle a drug laboratory on April 19.

Morena's national leader, Ariadna Montiel, had previously urged local legislators to pursue impeachment. She accused Campos of compromising national sovereignty by permitting U.S. agents to participate in the anti-drug operation. Morena organized a march against Campos on May 16, reiterating these accusations.

The deputies who signed the request include Edin Cuauhtémoc Estrada Sotelo, Magdalena Rentería Pérez, Leticia Ortega Maynez, Óscar Daniel Avitia Arellanes, Elizabeth Guzmán Argueta, María Antonieta Pérez Reyes, Brenda Francisca Ríos Prieto, Pedro Torres Estrada, Edith Palma Ontiveros, Herminia Gómez Carrasco, and Jael Argüelles Díaz.
