U.S. security agencies have focused on the former governor of Chiapas, Rutilio Escandón, after being accused by the interim governor from the PRI of Chiapas, Willy Ochoa, of having alleged ties to organized crime. This situation has led Escandón to consider returning to Mexico.
Despite being recently appointed as the Mexican consul in Miami by President Claudia Sheinbaum, the possibility of a return to Mexican territory has raised concerns, as the accusations against him could open investigations against him.
The administration of Donald Trump is focused on initiating investigations into the political ties of organized crime across the country, and the accusations against Escandón could put him in the sights of U.S. authorities, which the politician would seek to avoid.
Miami, where Escandón currently works, is considered the political center of Trumpism, increasing the pressure on him. The former governor of Chiapas is analyzing the possibility of returning to Mexico to avoid facing investigations in the United States and to prevent complications in his daily life.
The political environment in Miami is tough and demands an end to immigration and organized crime, making Escandón's situation more complex. The accusations against him, such as those made by Willy Ochoa, have created a complicated scenario for the former governor, who seeks to protect his safety and reputation.
