Congress must immediately investigate the CIA's unauthorized operations in Mexico following the deaths of two agents in Chihuahua on April 19. Mexico's security ministry confirmed these agents lacked formal accreditation to participate in operational activities and that federal authorities were never informed of their presence. One entered as a "visitor" while the other used a diplomatic passport. This violates Mexican law and represents a dangerous breach of sovereignty. President Sheinbaum has made clear that Mexico did not authorize joint operations on land or in the air, yet these agents were participating in raids on suspected drug labs when their vehicle crashed. This contradicts the Chihuahua State Attorney General's claim they were merely "instructor officers" doing training work. Reuters reported in September that the CIA has been running covert operations in Mexico for years, but the scope and legal authority for these activities remain unclear. Where is Congressional oversight? The executive branch cannot deploy intelligence operatives in foreign countries without proper authorization and transparency to Congress. This incident killed four people and has created a diplomatic crisis with our neighbor. I expect you to demand a full accounting of CIA activities in Mexico, the legal basis for these operations, and assurances that proper oversight mechanisms are in place.
