‘We are not going to allow the violation of our sovereignty’, President Sheinbaum stressed.

On Thursday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected claims that U.S. agents are involved in anti-drug trafficking operations on Mexican soil.

Sheinbaum Emphasizes Respectful U.S.-Mexico Relations Amid Trump Criticism

The denial followed a front-page report earlier in the day by a Mexican media outlet, which published a photograph allegedly showing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents participating in an operation in Sinaloa state, aimed at dismantling clandestine drug laboratories.

Sheinbaum dismissed the report as “fake” news, saying that since the previous administration, “there has been no subordination or participation of members of any U.S. agency in any operation” within Mexico. Authorities are currently investigating the origin of the photograph and whether it was taken in Mexico or elsewhere.

“We are not going to allow the violation of our sovereignty… it is a respectful relationship that has been maintained until now with U.S. President Donald Trump. It is important for the people of Mexico always to know this, and that under no circumstances will interference or violation of our sovereignty be allowed,” Sheinbaum said and stressed that Mexico no longer permits Washington to dictate its policies.
