The two U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agents who died on April 19 in a car accident in Chihuahua, Mexico , along with two Mexican intelligence officials, were not authorized to operate in the country.

This was confirmed today by an official statement from the Mexican Ministry of Security, which specifies that one of the agents had entered the country as a tourist while the second had presented a diplomatic document.

"Neither of them had formal accreditation to participate in operational activities," Claudia Sheinbaum's government clarified. The statement, which nonetheless expressed the government's condolences, emphasized that "Mexico law is clear and does not permit the participation of foreign agents in operations within national territory."
