In episode 129 of Soberanía, hosts José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth discuss the arrest of former Chihuahua Attorney General César Jauregui on suspicion of treason, after an investigation found he may have allowed CIA agents to take part in an irregular raid on a suspected drug lab — a case that only came to light because the agents’ vehicle fell off a cliff and exploded.
Next, they dig into an El Financiero poll showing Morena at 46% of decided voters ahead of the 2027 midterms, with the PAN at 8%, the PRI at 6%, and Movimiento Ciudadano reeling from the Guadalajara repression. They unpack the junior parties’ fight for survival and the irony that Morena needs those troublesome allies to hold its two-thirds majority.
The conversation then widens into the Mexican-American vote in Texas, where early voting shows a striking swing, and how Trump’s indiscriminate immigration crackdown has shattered the Republican dream of splitting documented and undocumented Latinos — with the death of Emiliano Andrade Covarrubias in an ICE detention center as a case in point.
Losers and Haters takes aim at the FBI, which rejected journalist Joseph Heffernan’s FOIA request about the El Mayo Zambada kidnapping by citing “personal privacy” — even as the plane used in the operation sits on display at the War Eagles Air Museum in New Mexico, complete with photographs and technical data.
