PAN Demands Immigration Alert for Sinaloa Governor and Culiacán Mayor, Citing Flight Risk

The National Action Party (PAN) has taken a firm stance, demanding immediate immigration alerts for Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya and the now-former mayor of Culiacán, Juan de Dios Gámez. This urgent call stems from the PAN's deep-seated concern that these officials, implicated in serious allegations, might attempt to flee Mexican jurisdiction, echoing past cases where individuals sought refuge abroad.

Let them not end up in Paraguay like Bermúdez, let them not end up in Argentina like Fernando Farías Laguna, ensure through the national migration system that none of them leave the country.

PAN's spokesperson, Jorge Triana, explicitly stated the party's objective: to ensure that Rocha Moya and Gámez, along with nine other individuals named by the United States, do not evade justice. Triana invoked the cautionary tales of Fernando Farías Laguna, who fled to Argentina, and Hernán Bermúdez, who escaped to Paraguay, emphasizing the need for proactive measures to prevent similar occurrences. The party is pushing the federal government to utilize the national migration system to block any attempts by these individuals to leave the country.

Rafael Calderón Jiménez, a PAN councilor, underscored the critical importance of the accused remaining within Mexico's borders. This presence is essential to facilitate any potential extradition process initiated by the United States, ensuring they face the consequences of their alleged actions. The party's demand is clear: these individuals must be available to serve the remainder of their lives in U.S. prisons, should the extradition proceed.

They will have to be in the country available for their eventual extradition once the 60 days have passed.

Federico Döring, a PAN deputy and spokesperson for the party's bloc in the Chamber of Deputies, reiterated the timeline, stating that the accused must be available within Mexico for at least 60 days, pending the extradition process. This demand highlights the PAN's commitment to accountability and their determination to see justice served, particularly in cases involving alleged international criminal activity. The party also called for action against others implicated, such as Sara Bruna, who they accuse of manipulating evidence related to a supposed murder.

So that they spend the rest of their lives in a prison in the United States.
