AU.S. District Court judge ruled on Monday that the Mexican government can proceed with a lawsuit alleging that five Arizona gun dealers were involved in trafficking weapons and ammunition to drug cartels across the U.S.-Mexico border.

Secretary of Foreign Affairs (SRE) Alicia Barcena celebrated a ruling from the District of Arizona that cleared the path for Mexico to continue its lawsuit against five U.S. firearm dealers.

U.S. District Judge Rosemary Marquez dismissed claims that a federal law shielding the firearms industry from lawsuits over product misuse prevented Mexico’s accusations against the gun dealers.
