Sheinbaum: Four U.S. Agents Were Operating in Mexico Without Permission
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
MEXICO CITY — President Claudia Sheinbaum stated on Wednesday that there were four U.S. agents operating in the country without authorization, two of whom died in April in an accident in the state of Chihuahua, while the other two left Mexican territory at the request of authorities. More than a month after the incident that caused friction between Mexico and Washington and internal tensions, Sheinbaum confirmed a number of U.S. agents that is double what Mexican authorities had initially acknowledged in Chihuahua. Without providing details about the agents' identities, their activities in Mexico, or whether they belonged to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the president said the two surviving agents were asked to leave the country because they 'did not have accreditation.' Sheinbaum explained that the four agents entered Mexico 'with legal, diplomatic passports, (and) as tourists,' but did not follow the registration protocol with the Mexican government, adding that the two agents who were 'asked to register or leave the country' chose to depart. The presence of the U.S. officials in Mexico became known shortly after the death of two of them in a traffic accident that occurred on April 19 in the mountains of northern Chihuahua, where a clandestine synthetic drug lab had been dismantled.
