2 CIA Officers Killed in Mexico Drug Raid That Mexico Didn't Authorize

Two CIA officers died in a car crash in Northern Mexico after an operation with local cops to destroy a meth lab. And the fallout now is just a full diplomatic incident. So specifically what happened is that the two Americans and two Mexican colleagues from Chihuahua's state investigative agency

were returning from the operation in the mountains when their car skidded into a ravine and exploded. Now the Chihuahua officials, they tried to downplay it at first, claiming that the Americans weren't actually at the raid and they just joined up hours later. And the US embassy offered almost no details. And actually we now know why. Mexican president, Claudia Scheinbaum said today that she was never told about any joint operation.

No federal cabinet, no federal permission, which under Mexican law is required. And so she's now ordered prosecutors to investigate potential national security violations. And so imagine if Mexican intelligence agents ran a raid in California alongside state cops

without ever telling DC or Trump. You could just picture that meltdown. But this is also not happening in a bubble. The CIA, they've been flying Reaper drones over Mexico since last year. The agency is actively reviewing its authorities to use lethal force against cartels. And Hegseth has said that cross-border raids

are all options on the table. All while Trump wants to go after the cartels no matter what Mexico says. no matter what Mexico says. And so this crash, it isn't just an accident.
