Chihuahua Governor Maru Campos Refuses Senate Hearing; State AG Resigns; U.S. Sends Diplomatic Response; Sheinbaum: 'Investigation Does Not Stop With a Resignation'

April 28 brought three major developments in the CIA-Chihuahua accountability crisis. First, Chihuahua Governor María Eugenia 'Maru' Campos announced she would not attend the Senate hearing scheduled by the Constitutional Affairs and Public Security committees for 11:00 AM, stating: 'No, we are not going to attend the Senate today because it is not mandatory. We answer to our people, not to the Senate.' The Chihuahua government issued a formal written document declining the invitation, citing the need 'to safeguard the proper development of ongoing proceedings, avoiding compromising confidential or classified information, in protection of the investigation itself and National Security.' Senate officials expressed institutional concern, noting they had only learned of her absence through the media. Second, Chihuahua State Attorney General César Jáuregui Moreno — one of the officials Sheinbaum had named as bearing responsibility for authorizing the unauthorized CIA joint operation — resigned. At her Tuesday mañanera, Sheinbaum responded firmly: 'The investigation does not stop with a resignation.' She confirmed that the U.S. had responded diplomatically to Mexico's April 23 formal note, stating the Americans indicated 'they want to respect the law and Constitution in Mexico.' Third, at the same April 28 mañanera, Labor Secretary Marath Baruch Bolaños presented IMSS employment data showing Mexico reached a record 60.2 million employed workers — an increase of approximately 422,000 jobs year-over-year — maintaining the lowest unemployment rate among OECD countries. A new ISSSTE linear accelerator at the Regional Hospital 'Centenario de la Revolución' was also announced, capable of providing 16,800 annual cancer treatment sessions, alongside the reopening of Hospital General No. 15 in Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche, closed since 2014.
