Mexico avoids US confrontation after CIA agents’ Chihuahua deaths

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said there will be no U.S.-Mexico confrontation over the deaths of two CIA agents in Chihuahua, stressing respect for Mexico’s constitution and security laws. Mexico says the agents were not authorized to operate there, with one entering as a visitor and the other using a diplomatic passport, and the CIA declined to comment. Sheinbaum called for clarifications and for authorities to act promptly, noting the incident should be isolated; the case follows a prior U.S.–Mexico security coordination framework established last year under the Trump administration.
