"Sheinbaum acknowledged there were conflicting reports circulating in the aftermath of the crash about the nature of the agents' presence in Mexico, emphasizing the need for a full investigation to determine if any laws were violated."
"Tensions have been high over the past year regarding the possibility that the US may seek to unilaterally launch ground operations in Mexico, which Sheinbaum has firmly rejected as a red line not to be crossed."
