Sheinbaum: US Agencies Can No Longer Operate in Mexico as Before

**Sheinbaum Claims US Agencies Face Restrictions in Mexico** Mexico City – Claudia Sheinbaum, head of government for Mexico City, recently made a statement regarding the operations of US agencies within Mexico. She asserted that these agencies are no longer able to function in Mexico as they did under the previous administration of Felipe Calderón. Sheinbaum attributes this change to her government's focus on asserting Mexican sovereignty. "US agencies don't like that they can't operate as they did before; they'd prefer to continue as they did during Felipe Calderón's time," Sheinbaum stated. She specifically mentioned the DEA's dissatisfaction with the new restrictions. A citizen attending the press conference, commenting on the situation, stated: "It's what I'm saying; they don't like the president saying that she's going to defend sovereignty." The video shows Sheinbaum speaking at a press conference, providing a visual record of her statements. This situation highlights the evolving relationship between Mexico and the United States, particularly concerning law enforcement cooperation. The long-term implications of these changes remain to be seen, but Sheinbaum's assertion underscores a significant shift in the operational landscape for US agencies in Mexico.
