Derek Maltz calls for the extradition of Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya to face justice in a U.S. federal court.

Former DEA head Derek Maltz has publicly called for the extradition of Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya to the United States. Maltz expressed his desire for Rocha Moya to be expelled from Mexico and tried in a New York federal court for his alleged ties to the Los Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel. While the governor is currently considered innocent until proven otherwise, Maltz emphasized that a formal judicial process is necessary to determine his accountability. He shared several AI-generated images and videos of Rocha Moya to highlight the accusations, suggesting the governor may have conspired with cartel leaders to import narcotics into the U.S. in exchange for political support and bribes. Despite the current administration's ongoing investigation, Rocha Moya recently requested a license to step down, and the local Congress appointed Graciela Domínguez as interim governor. Meanwhile, Maltz urged Security and Protection of Civilian Secretary Omar Gårcia Harfuch to launch an operation to deliver the governor to the U.S. for trial.
