Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum asserted the legitimacy of U.S. drone flights over Mexico, responding to concerns about increased aerial surveillance. She detailed that these operations are conducted under a protocol that has existed for years and often at Mexico's request. The increase in drone activity aligns with the U.S. campaign against drug cartels, specifically to locate fentanyl labs. Despite accusations of violating Mexican sovereignty, Sheinbaum maintained that there is no illegal activity occurring, and the collaboration with U.S. agencies is transparent and consistent with international crime-fighting efforts.
The U.S. has stepped up secret drone flights over Mexico in search of fentanyl labs, as part of an intensified campaign against drug cartels.
Sheinbaum insisted that there is "nothing illegal" about the drone flights, asserting they are part of a longstanding coordination protocol between the two nations.
The drones, operated by the CIA, collect information that is reportedly shared with Mexican officials, establishing a collaborative approach to fighting crime.
Sheinbaum rejected claims of U.S. espionage, emphasizing that actions are carried out at the request of the Mexican government, reinforcing the notion of sovereignty.
