Nogales.- After the United States Department of the Treasury involved Miguel Ángel Morgan Huerta, director of Urban Image of the Nogales City Council, in the sanction of 13 members of the Sinaloa Cartel and 4 companies that operate in Sonora for fentanyl trafficking and other deadly drugs, the official requested leave at his expense.
