New U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar said Saturday that Washington has asked the Mexican government to allow its agents, including the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration ( DEA ), to operate in Mexico.
Last year, Mexico waived criminal immunity for foreign agents and imposed strict limits on their contacts with their Mexican counterparts. Analysts say that inevitably affects the DEA's ability to collect intelligence on drug cartels in the country.
Given that some DEA agents are in Mexico beforehand, it appears that the US request is for more agents to be allowed in or for those already in Mexico to operate more freely.
The United States has been inundated with fentanyl, which is produced mostly in Mexico using chemicals from China as a precursor. Salazar indicated that Mexico has pledged to fight drug cartels under the new bilateral security agreement Bicentennial Understanding announced on Friday to replace the Merida Initiative.
"We are going to receive cooperation from the Mexican government, which was agreed yesterday, to ensure that the public order and security resources that we have operating here in collaboration with the Mexican authorities have the capacity to do so," Salazar said in his first conference. press release since his arrival in the Mexican capital in September.
"So, yes, that includes our request, and we are working with the Mexican government to have the opportunity to bring in agents again, including from the DEA, but we are doing it in a way that we are in partnership with Mexico." detailed Salazar.
Salazar also spoke of the need for "a regional response" to another major concern of the United States: the tens of thousands of migrants - many of them Haitians - who are in Mexico or en route to Mexico from South America.

Doubt that AMLO will allow such. His stance is very clear that pre- existed agreements did little to curb Mexico's violence. Rather he believes that American presence of government officials has not helpful but harmful to Mexico's National Security.
ReplyDeleteCan one truly blame his decision? How many have been killed or disappeared since the war on drugs began? The vast amount of illegal weapons flooding Mexico's states. Moreover, without curbing the consumption & demand for narcotics in the US. A Different approach needs to be tackled to consider this a winnable war. From both sides of the border.
What solution can be implemented depends on what side one resides in.
There are many at fault here with what this war has generated.
Well said!
DeleteAgree
DeleteDon't ask for permission just send them and give Lopez obrador a case of tecate beer and a few bucks and he won't notice ?
DeleteGreat just what Mexico needs, more agents to destabize Mexico more than it already is.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't they send agents to China?
That's where the main ingredient to make menth and pills come from right?
Chinese are not dumb like Mexican presidents who are puppets to the U.S.A..
What moronic thinking, weather there is DEA, in Mexico or not,
Deleteit's Obradors government that is letting everything go to hell, it's the cartels that are destabilizing all areas of Mexico. Yes like a fool blame it on DEA
The article said there were already other agents in Mexico. Meaning CIA , DEA and other agencies but they want more DEA agents.
DeleteWhat is moronic is how clueless you are about how this shit works.
You want to pretend like these agencies are there in Mexico to help the mexican people?
You must be new to this subject so I will leave it at that..
You're a dork at the subject at hand.

DeleteYa con tu pajasadas.
Vete a trabajar.
@802You stated something dumb.
Delete1st time I hear the word moronic.
China is not at our door step it's Mexico but obrador will not allow it because he's in a certain cartels wallet and DEA will find who's wallet and will spoil his party halfway through his term and he's already a billionaire.rags to riches.
DeleteI wonder if obrador s chief of security is Related to El Negro Durazo? If he is he'll teach his boss his dad's old tricks.
DeleteIf the DEA were to intervene yet again, they have to let go of the kingpin strategy.
ReplyDeleteWe know it's all about the money, DEA gets their revenue for going after these guys. It's just such a mess. There are no easy answers. This corruption and violence will still be ever present even if 'everything was legal' as some blindingly think is true. The drugs are the tip of this iceburg. This beast will be fed, and fed well with people's despair.

The current trial of parmacutical companies in Ohio will determine whether any liability will have a positive impact in society.
They've denied them entry all year and I don't think they'll budge.. Mexico should use covid as an excuse lol... Mexicans with visas can't cross right now but somehow American are free to come and go as they please...
ReplyDeleteWe can fly in. ,but can't drive in.
DeleteI literally crossed the border on Thursday and crossed back yesterday and then crossed back into mex I'm chilling in baja. We can cross as we please but they can't shitty system
DeleteEl bulldoggie
DeleteI played hopscotch, in Mexico, out of Mexico.
Yeah I meant to say via bridge... I have friends that cross daily but Mexicans with visas can't.. My friend had to fly from Juarez to Guadalajara to Phoenix, bus to El Paso just to see his son.
DeleteDemocrats don't like Mexicans, maybe the U.S Hispanics vote Democrat no matter who runs, if i was Democrats I wouldn't take Hispanic vote for granted
DeleteIt's the Republicans who don't like Mexicans and Blacks especially the Trump cheerleaders waving their pompoms.you need to vote and get invloved'Por.eso.estamos.como.estamos.Raza.no.sean.ignorantes.

DeleteFucking Biden dea agents dont kneed to do shit in mexico your not wanted. The mexican goverment at all levels get drug money they dont want to fuck that up. The war on drugs is won or lost in the border or in our ports. Not in fucking mexico and not in fucking colombia. Stop sending help to mexico and any money which is pocketed by the most corrupt weak ass goverment in the world.
ReplyDeleteAhhh Fu too.
DeleteHay Dios mío he knows
DeleteSo true, the war on drugs never was met to be won, DEA IS JUST CORRUPT HAS THE CARTEL. HOW DO U EXSPECT TO WIN WITH OPEN BORDERS.
DeleteWoW. Your comment is the most ignorant thing I read today. It was also real funny and it reminded me at a dog barking at the wind blowing.
DeletePiasa I too agree , he gets a thropy, for posting the dumbest comment.
DeleteNot known lol your worse than Mexica 1, get a hold of your self man.
DeletePaisa your a fucking idiot. Fuck you fuck sending anything to mexico. Mexico aint shit.
DeleteWe all know open borders means new Democrat votes.
ReplyDeleteYes de Carlos that's why the border patrol is busy changing diapers to all.
DeleteYeah and rescuing fools like you who can't swim while crossing after paying your rear end to the smugglers.
DeleteKen, u get it straightened out, Biden can't.
ReplyDeleteAmbassador open the border to Mexican Nationals, it's open to illegals. Why do Biden and Harris Hate Our Mexican neighbors. They spend money in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't you people say anything when Racist orange head was in the white house sending back asylum seekers back to Mexico to wait for court hearing
DeleteHow can anybody know about their Court hearing while in Mexico? But nobody said jack.
Yes, Democrats don't understand that someone has to pull the Tigger
ReplyDeleteThat will be the same as el Chapo telling the US government that he never forced anyone to buy drugs.
ReplyDeleteBut obviously your comment is ridiculous. A law abiding citizen will probably won’t kill at will as the criminals do in Mexico. Unless he is a US citizens doing a mass shootout to kill as many people as he can in the United States.
It's purely on an analyst and some other term I can't think of but yeah that's it. Something like a mediator. It's not hard to explain, but you'll feel like I'm talking down to you. Why? Because all hands gotta be at home plate ready to swing.
