Mexico’s president will make her second official stop in the state of Sonora this weekend since taking office in October.
On the trip, she plans to stop to stop in the town of Bavispe, deep in the Sierra Madre mountains, near the border with the Mexican state of Chihuahua. There, she’ll visit a project to rehabilitate an important highway in the region.
She’ll also travel to the far northwestern part of the state, to the town of San Luis Río Colorado — just across the border from Yuma, Arizona.
The trip comes days after the governor of Sonora, the Mexican state that shares much of its northern border with Arizona, was in Mexico City for a meeting with Sheinbaum’s security council. Mexico is under pressure from the United States to show it has a handle on security, especially in border states, as President Donald Trump’s tariff threat looms.
