A Mexican senator has announced his decision to leave the Morena party's parliamentary group. Enrique Inzunza made this move amid pressure from the United States for Mexican authorities to take action against certain individuals accused of narcotics trafficking. Inzunza himself is among those accused.

The senator will continue to occupy his seat in the Senate, but as an independent. He has denied the accusations made by the US Department of Justice. Further details about the situation and Inzunza's response are available from the source. The US had announced accusations against 10 current and former officials from the state of Sinaloa, including Inzunza, on April 29.
