Citlalli Hernández Leaves Sheinbaum Cabinet — Second Major Resignation After Foreign Secretary Velasco Appointment

Citlalli Hernández stepped down as head of Mexico's Secretariat of Women on April 15, announced as part of internal federal administration adjustments. This is the second significant cabinet departure in three weeks, following Foreign Secretary Juan Ramón de la Fuente's resignation on April 1 (citing health reasons) and the subsequent appointment of Juan Antonio Ferrer Aguilar as replacement. Hernández, a close Morena ally and senator, had led the secretariat since October 2024. The cabinet adjustments come as Sheinbaum navigates ongoing pressures from the USMCA renegotiation, the CJNG succession crisis, and the World Cup security operation now 54 days from opening.
