Four officials, consisting of two U.S. embassy officials and two Mexican officials, died in a car accident on Sunday in the northern state of Chihuahua. The individuals were assigned to combat cartel operations at the time of the crash.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that she was not aware that U.S. officials were working with local authorities in Chihuahua to fight drug cartels. She has requested further details regarding the security operation.
President Sheinbaum announced that her government will review whether the involvement of American agents in the operation violated Mexico's national security laws and sovereignty.
