How the death of two CIA agents in northern Mexico led to a treason case
The deaths of two CIA agents in April, following an operation to dismantle a drug lab in northern Mexico, have resulted in a treason charge against a former Chihuahua state attorney general, César Jáuregui. The former attorney general is also accused in state court of "illegal exercise of public office." President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that her administration neither authorized the operation nor was informed of it.
The case has sparked speculation about the scope of the Trump administration's actions on Mexican soil and raised questions about Sheinbaum's defense of national sovereignty.
