Claudia Sheinbaum has formally asked the US Embassy to explain why two alleged CIA operatives were conducting security-related activities in Mexico without official permission.
The issue came to light after a car accident in the state of Chihuahua killed two US-linked personnel along with Mexican agents. Initially described as embassy officials assisting with training, it was later revealed that the Americans were reportedly linked to the Central Intelligence Agency, raising serious concerns in Mexico.
Sheinbaum stated that neither her government nor the country’s defense authorities had been informed about their presence. In simple terms, Mexico is saying: foreign agents cannot operate on its territory without clear approval—and in this case, that rule may have been broken.
Mexico’s government emphasized that this situation touches on national sovereignty and security. Officials pointed to existing laws that require foreign agents to get authorization, report their activities, and operate under Mexican oversight.
The president has called for full transparency from the US and suggested that current agreements between the two countries may need to be revised to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Overall, the situation highlights growing sensitivity around foreign intelligence operations and the importance countries place on maintaining control over their own security affairs.
