Mexico Investigates US Involvement in 2024 Cartel Boss Capture
Mexican officials say the FBI displayed the aircraft used in the capture, deepening questions about U.S. involvement and sovereignty violations.
- On Tuesday, President Claudia Sheinbaum announced an investigation into whether the United States violated Mexican sovereignty during the 2024 capture of drug lord Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada.
- While the U.S. Embassy previously denied agency participation, Joaquin Guzman Lopez admitted in a plea deal to kidnapping Zambada to win favor with American authorities.
- Sheinbaum asserted that unauthorized U.S. agency participation would violate international treaties and the Mexican constitution, stating, "If one of the US agencies participated in this operation, they would be violating international treaties and the constitution."
- Following Justice Department indictments against former Sinaloa governor Ruben Rocha Moya, Sheinbaum demanded Washington provide "irrefutable" evidence before considering any potential extradition.
- This diplomatic friction follows allegations of unauthorized CIA operations in Mexico, while Trump has repeatedly warned he would use military force if cartel activity is not curtailed.
