Mexico Declares Two U.S. Federal Agents Killed in Crash Were Unauthorized
Mexico's government announced that two U.S. federal agents, identified as CIA operatives, who died in a car crash in the northern region of the country, were not authorized to conduct operations on Mexican soil. The agents were reportedly returning from dismantling a clandestine drug lab in Chihuahua when their vehicle, part of a convoy, veered into a ravine and exploded, also killing two Mexican officers. The Mexican Ministry of Security stated that one agent entered Mexico as a visitor and the other with a diplomatic passport, but neither had permission to engage in operations. The incident has prompted a review by Mexican authorities in collaboration with the U.S. Embassy. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum acknowledged federal forces' involvement, despite initial claims of no knowledge of the operation.
