Nightly Newscasts OMIT Major DoJ Charges Against Cartel-Compromised Mexican Officials #Political
The Elitist Media Evening News hid a major story from the American public on Wednesday night, by failing to report on the indictment of 10 senior officials from the Mexican state of Sinaloa- home of the major drug cartel once headed by “El Chapo” Guzman. This omitted story has major ramifications on both sides of the border and with regard to our national security.
The only over-the-air national evening newscast to carry the indictment was PBS News Hour. Here is that brief in its entirety, as aired on Wednesday, April 29th, 2026:
WATCH: PBS News Hour was the only over-the-air national evening newscast (English-language) to cover the DoJ indictment of senior Sinaloa officials including the governor, who is a member of President Sheinbaum's MORENA party.

AMNA NAWAZ: The Justice Department is charging 10 current and former Mexican officials with conspiring with a powerful cartel to import drugs into the U.S. Among those named in today's indictment is Sinaloa state governor Rubén Rocha. He's accused of protecting Sinaloa cartel members in exchange for bribes and political support, which he denies. Rocha is a member of the political party led by President Claudia Sheinbaum. She has said her government is cracking down on corruption, though President Trump has insisted that more needs to be done. None of those charged today are currently in custody.
It’s a wee bit more than “ten government officials” including the governor, though, Per Fox News:
The U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York claims officials took millions in bribes from the "Chapitos" faction of the Sinaloa Cartel, allowed the cartel to operate with total impunity and helped transform the region into the global epicenter of the deadly narcotics trade.
In a public statement, Mexico's SRE confirmed the U.S. Embassy in Mexico received the extradition requests Tuesday night. However, after a legal review, the Mexican government said the U.S. documents "do not have evidentiary elements" to determine the officials are responsible for the alleged crimes.
You have a major indictment, and the Mexican government is pushing back. The allegations are eye-watering. Per the indictment:
As alleged, the defendants have been most closely aligned with the faction of the Cartel run by the sons of Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera, a/k/a “El Chapo,” the Cartel’s notorious former leader, who are themselves known collectively as the “Chapitos.” The defendants have operated at all levels of government and law enforcement in Sinaloa and each abused their positions of trust and authority to help facilitate the Chapitos’ operations. For example, ROCHA MOYA was elected Governor of Sinaloa, a position he has held since on or about November 1, 2021, after the Chapitos allegedly helped him get elected by, among other things, kidnapping and intimidating his rivals. In exchange, both before and after he became Governor, ROCHA MOYA allegedly attended meetings with the Chapitos, at which he promised to protect the Chapitos as they distributed massive quantities of drugs to the United States and, as Governor, ROCHA MOYA has allowed the Chapitos to operate with impunity in Sinaloa. Similarly, the other defendants have directly and repeatedly helped the Chapitos in exchange for massive drug-fueled bribes. For example, ZAAVEDRA, who is the Deputy Attorney General for the Sinaloa State Attorney General’s Office, has received approximately $11,000 U.S. dollars each month from the Chapitos and, in exchange, has protected Chapitos members from arrest and informed the Chapitos of planned U.S.-backed law enforcement operations.
Certain of the defendants are also alleged to have themselves directly participated in the Cartel’s campaign of violence and retribution. For example, MILLAN, a high-level commander in the Culiacan Municipal Police, allegedly received more than approximately $1,600 U.S. dollars each month from the Chapitos. In exchange, MILLAN gave the Chapitos unfettered access to the Culiacan Municipal Police and used officers from the police force to help the Chapitos maintain their control over Culiacan, including through arrests, kidnappings, and murder. In or about October 2023, MILLAN allegedly helped the Chapitos kidnap a DEA confidential source and the source’s relative, who the Chapitos then had tortured and killed, because the source was suspected of providing information to the Government in connection with this investigation.
It isn’t just the governor that appears to be compromised, but the state’s deputy attorney general and senior police commanders. Given what has been published about cartel activity within the United States and their potential collaboration with malign foreign actors, how is this not an A-block story?
What happens when the U.S. seeks extradition of the governor? Does the Mexican government continue to push back? Do they hand him over and risk him singing like a canary and potentially revealing the extent to which the current and prior administrations are/were compromised by the cartels? A proper media would be asking these questions. Instead, they will likely feign surprise and blame President Trump if the U.S. escalates its efforts to secure the suspects.
It staggers the mind that NONE of the Big Three networks bothered with the story. The networks universally covered Queen Camilla hanging out with Sarah Jessica Parker, the unruly passenger that opened the hatch on a United flight, and Ed Sheeran’s shingles. But they had zero time for a major national security story. Many such cases, unfortunately.
