"Mexico's national security law does not allow for joint operations without prior approval from the federal government. The attorney general will have to investigate to know if this was in violation of the constitution and the law of national security."
"The incident comes during a tense moment in the US-Mexico relationship, as Donald Trump demands Mexico do more to stem the trafficking of drugs to the US, while Sheinbaum strives to defend Mexico's sovereignty."
"US law enforcement activity in Mexico is a politically sensitive issue, given previous interventions in the region. Sheinbaum has repeatedly turned down Trump's offers to send troops into Mexico to help take on cartels."
Mexico has initiated an investigation into a possible constitutional breach following the deaths of two US embassy officials in a car accident. The officials were reportedly CIA operatives returning from a drug lab raid in Chihuahua. Conflicting accounts from state officials have emerged regarding the Americans' involvement in the operation. President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that neither she nor her cabinet were aware of the raid, which raises questions about compliance with national security laws. The incident occurs amid heightened tensions in US-Mexico relations over drug trafficking.
