Mexico's Morena Party Restricts US Travel for Officials Amid Diplomatic Tensions

The ruling Morena party in Mexico has privately advised its governors and legislators to avoid traveling to the United States this summer. Party insiders say the warning aims to prevent diplomatic incidents and protect the national economy as relations with U.S. agencies grow increasingly strained over issues such as the investigation of drug cartel leader Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and extradition requests for officials like Rubén Rocha Moya.

Separately, Senator Manuel Añorve condemned the Morena administration for lacking a coherent policy to fight human trafficking. Speaking at an international anti‑trafficking conference in Washington, D.C., he accused the government of undermining the National Human Rights Commission and called for stronger cooperation with the United States to combat the crime.
