Daily Summary: White House Security, Judicial Proceedings in Mexico, and Diplomatic Advances
A shooting near the White House in Washington D.C. caused a major security mobilization this Saturday. The Secret Service and the FBI responded quickly to reports of an armed man in the vicinity of the premises. The incident left two people injured, including a suspect. Due to the situation, the National Guard blocked access points and journalists were moved to the press room for their safety.
In Mexico, the main news is the investigation by the Attorney General's Office (FGR) against several officials. The governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya, confirmed that he will appear before the FGR after receiving a subpoena. This legal action is related to investigations and allegations presented by the United States government.
In addition to the governor, the FGR summoned nine other people for interviews as part of the same inquiry. Among those named is Senator Enrique Inzunza, who publicly stated that he will not use his constitutional immunity to avoid the process. Inzunza assured that he is willing to cooperate fully with the judicial authorities.
Regarding this matter, President Claudia Sheinbaum defended the transparency of the process. Sheinbaum assured that the subpoenas for the officials from Sinaloa and Chihuahua do not have political motives. According to the president, these actions are part of the independent work of the prosecutor's office to clarify the drug trafficking allegations mentioned by the U.S. authorities.
