Mexico Bans US Agents in Ops, Tensions Rise

0:00On April 27th, Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum just dropped a firm diplomatic note to the United States, saying they're officials showing up. Uninvited to an anti-narcotics raid in Shihuahua State won't fly anymore. This all blew up after a tragic car crash on April 19th that killed two U.S. officials and two Mexican ones right after the operation. Sources say those Americans were CIA officers and Mexico's federal government claims they had no clue they were even there. Tensions between the two countries on security teamwork are flaring up again since having U.S. agents in Mexican ops is a real source spot. Scheinbaum's clear, she digs intel sharing, but no boots on the ground from the U.S. side. Mexico's security cabinet chimed in over the weekend, pointing out the Americans lacked proper accreditation, one even snuck in as a tourist. They demanded sticking to Mexico's constitution and security laws from here on out, and the U.S. nodded in agreement, with President Trump pushing for more U.S. muscle against cartels, even hinting at solo moves if Mexico doesn't step up.
