CIA-linked U.S. officials die in Mexican crash after drug raid
Two U.S. embassy officials, reportedly CIA employees, were killed in a car crash in Chihuahua, Mexico, after a drug raid, along with two Mexican federal officers; authorities are investigating the circumstances. The CIA declined to comment, and The Washington Post reported the CIA link. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum called for a full investigation into potential constitutional or national security-law violations, noting the collaboration was federal. The incident comes as the CIA has expanded counternarcotics operations in Mexico under Director John Ratcliffe, including drone surveillance and a review of its authorities against cartels.
