State officials in Chihuahua have kept urging the federal government for resources to repair key highways and to improve humanitarian services in the Sierra Tarahumara and surrounding areas. After deputy Arturo Medina and a delegation of legislators highlighted the needs of displaced families in the Cinco Llagas community and called for funding of the Nonoava‑Guachochi road on July 6, federal deputy Alfredo “El Caballo” Lozoya expanded the appeal on July 7, urging Secretary of Infrastructure, Communications and Transport Jesús Antonio Esteva to allocate emergency funds for federal highway 24 (Parral‑Guadalupe‑Calvo). He warned that sections of the road have been reduced to earth, creating daily safety risks, hindering commerce and isolating communities already affected by forced displacement, violence and organized‑crime activity.

On July 29, state officials—including Secretary of Indigenous Peoples Enrique Rascón Carrillo and Governor María Eugenia Campos Galván—broadened the request, calling for a permanent federal agenda on forced displacement in Guadalupe and Calvo, dedicated budget allocations, restoration of federal services such as health, electricity and forest inspection, and strengthened security operations. The governor also criticised delayed federal action on health crises, a measles outbreak and cattle‑worm infestations, urging a coordinated strategy to protect families and restore stability. The ongoing advocacy reflects a coordinated effort by Chihuahua’s representatives to secure federal investment for infrastructure and to address the broader humanitarian and security challenges facing Indigenous and rural communities in the state.
