The Mexican government has also released information about the incident, stating that the two CIA agents were not authorized to operate in Mexico at the time of their deaths. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

Sheinbaum’s comments have been seen as an effort to reassure the US that Mexico will continue to cooperate on counter-narcotics efforts, while also emphasizing the need for greater transparency and authorization from Mexican authorities.
