It's April 30th. This is Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum is drawing a hard line against U.S. interference after a New York court and died at 10 current and former Mexican. Officials for allegedly teaming up with the Sena Loa cartel to traffic drugs. The charges hit close to home, naming Sena Loa Governor Ruben Rockamoya, a top ally in Scheinbaum's Marina Party and close to her predecessor, Andreses. Manuel Lopez Overdor, along with other sitting officials. Mexico's government quickly confirmed U.S. extradition requests for 10 unnamed citizens. This has ignited a political firestorm, putting Scheinbaum in a tough spot as she juggles pressure from the U.S. while keeping her progressive base. Happy and made rising tensions over drug flows. Her attorney general is now launching a full probe to verify if there's solid evidence behind the claims, saying they'll gather their own facts before. Any moves on arrest warrants.

If the case smells like political motivation with no clear proof, Scheinbaum vows Mexico won't bend, keeping justice and decisions firmly in the hands of its own people.
