This market will resolve to "Yes" if Sinaloa Governor Ruben Rocha Moya is arrested or detained by law enforcement between the time of market creation and May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Temporary holding at a detention facility while awaiting a judge’s decision on whether to grant a detention warrant qualifies, so long as they are held by law enforcement in an official capacity during that time. A qualifying arrest/detention includes: * Being taken into physical custody by law enforcement authorities (including federal, state, local, military, or international law enforcement) * Voluntarily surrendering to law enforcement authorities in response to an arrest warrant * Being formally booked or processed following detention * Being handcuffed by a state authority and taken to a police station * Surrendering at a police station or courthouse with their attorney * Being placed under house arrest or electronic monitoring The following scenarios will NOT qualify as an arrest/detention * An arrest warrant being issued but not executed * Being questioned or interviewed without arrest * Being named in an indictment without arrest The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the arresting government and law enforcement; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.U.S. prosecutors indicted Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya on April 29, 2026, for allegedly conspiring with the Sinaloa Cartel on drug trafficking and weapons offenses, prompting his temporary step-down on May 2 amid denials of wrongdoing. Mexico's Fiscalía General de la República stated on May 1 it would not pursue his detention or extradition, citing insufficient evidence for local action. With no Mexican arrest warrant issued and Rocha reportedly under state protection as of mid-May, traders reflect an 80.5% "No" consensus, viewing bilateral tensions and procedural hurdles as major barriers to custody before May 31, absent a sudden policy shift or escalated U.S.-Mexico cooperation.
