Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said Thursday she will propose constitutional reforms aimed at protecting Mexico’s sovereignty after U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration designated six Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
The U.S. designations have stirred worry in Mexico that it could be a preliminary step toward U.S. military intervention on Mexican territory in pursuit of the cartels, something Mexico sharply rejects.
“The Mexican people will not accept under any circumstances interventions, interference or any other act from abroad that could be harmful to the integrity, independence and sovereignty of the nation,” Sheinbaum said.
On Thursday, the designation of eight Latin America-based criminal organizations was published in the U.S. Federal Register, carrying out a Jan. 20 executive order by Trump. The U.S. hopes the designation, something usually reserved for terrorist groups with political rather than economic objectives, will increase pressure on the groups.
Sheinbaum said during her daily press briefing Thursday that Mexico also wouldn’t allow outside involvement in investigations or prosecutions without authorization and collaboration of the Mexican government.
Former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Sheinbaum’s predecessor, had already written into Mexican law limits to how foreign agents could operate in Mexico, limiting their independence and requiring that Mexican authorities be informed of their movements. Sheinbaum proposes enshrining those limits in the constitution.
“What we want to make clear in the face of this designation is that we do not negotiate sovereignty,” Sheinbaum said. “This cannot be an opportunity for the United States to invade our sovereignty.”
Her administration also proposed reforming the constitution to apply the most severe penalties available under law to foreigners involved in the building, smuggling and distribution of guns. Mexico has long demanded that the U.S. do more to prevent the flood of guns into Mexico from U.S. gun shops and manufacturers.
Her Morena party and its allies hold majorities in both chambers of Congress and have been able to pass a number of other constitutional reforms.

Lmfao now whats these trump clowns gotta say? Thought they was gonna bomb Mexico 😂
ReplyDeleteTrump is DOMINATING the world punk! Your hate makes you blind, and us Trump clowns taxpayer money is what we give to the welfare country Mexico! BILLIONS!!!! Trump is gonna do whatever in the fuck he decides with Mexico! You are probably one of those who live in USA but fly the Mexico flag on your truck!
Delete@340 "ThOuGhT tHeY wAs GoInG tO bOmB mExIcO" lol ok retard
DeleteMenso, the US has already been inside México for years now.
DeleteYou think this is going to stop anything? 😂
DeleteThe Defense Industry is itching for a new war. Better start buying defense stocks.
DeleteMexico can say they're sovereign all that want on paper, US don't need their permission to do drone strikes! What is Mexico going to do?
DeleteUs Trump clowns don't have to do nothing, Claudia will do what US says but on TV say that Mexico is sovereign to make clowns like you think Mexico has Balls!
Delete@7:25 whats Mexico gonna do? Let Russia and China build military bases in its territory, thats what Mexico’s gonna do
DeleteYou trump clowns are really a rare breed. Trump doesn’t care about the cartels. He wants to takeover Mexicos trade and kick out china. But it’s going to be a civil war here in the states if that happens. Those US Mexican flag waivers will blow shit up in the home front. Also Mexico will have a lot of other nations that will look out after their interest too.
DeleteBunch keyboard warriors acting tough on internet thinking the U.S. and Orange turd and strong . They’re weak as fuck and he’s showing it . That’s why no one is afraid of them anymore . China , Russia and India are waiting for the moment US fucks up. So they can use it as an excuse to go war . But hey keep sleeping on Donald
DeleteExactly, no one is doing that lmao but we should admit Mexico could use the help to control cartels. AND don't say ""ah mexico military can do that"" becuase they had what 10 yers to do something. but their higher ups dont do shit; this will push them to do something. also, those human rights org. aint shit but excuses
Delete4:29 Trump gets slapped around by Mossad/CIA. Dumb magatards at it again
DeleteAt 9:56. Russia can’t even beat a third rate military after almost three years of war. They are a piper tiger with a weak military and a GDP the size of Texas. They are nothing but a gas station run by gangsters and nuclear weapons. China has its own problems to worry about. The best scenario right now is for a truce in Ukraine. And no one wants war with the US and war is in no one’s interest.
Delete4:29 is Trump the dictator of the world? I thought the US didn't like dictators and kings. Isn't that what the US won independence from? Being under the thumb of a king?
DeleteHow can Mexicans accept thier corrupt government putting up even more barriers and blocking assistance to the long suffering citizens. If she cared about Mexicans she would be asking anyone to come lend a hand to help end this scourge. Is she not introspective enough to ask herself why are millions of my fellow citizens risking thier lives to flee this beautiful country and their families and way of life. Wake up Good folks of Mexico and elect some leaders that will bring safety and prosperity to your great country.
ReplyDeleteBecause the u.s are just as corrupt and the know where ever the u.s goes all the leave behind is destruction
DeleteStfu please. We are where we are because of Felipe Calderón and his deal with the CDS.
Delete¿Acaso hay países interviniendo en la Guerra civil de Birmania? ¿O en las guerras étnicas de África? ¿Por qué el afán de querer intervenir en cosas que no tienen nada que ver con ellos?
DeleteSTFU, we are because of the appetite of drugs from the Gringos! Get your facts straight!!! Look what happen with weed (you tax it and legalize it)
Delete3:56. Wow. Very well said.
DeleteCause the Us the most corrupt goverment .Look at Trump his whole family illegal .Grand father from Germany so were does he go swims further then Mexicans. Plus growing up was scared to go into service cause someone will whoop his wig wearing ass..

DeleteYes USA corrupted...yes Calderon..what does that have to do with the current Mexican leadership recognizing the citizens are suffering under the rule of criminals and bring it to an end. Do not the leadership in Mexico want a High quality of life for thier citizens? Fix it and if you cannot then ask for help.
DeleteYeah 3:56, the constitutional article 40 that that come up with one of the stipulations was outside countries couldn't conduct investigation of mexican authorities unless authorized. I bet it's signed pretty much
Deleteacross the board on the stated stipulation.
Most Americans don't want USA meddling in other countries. Destabilizing a foreign country happens again and again under the veil of democracy. Lets not forget USA takes resources like they are trying to negotiate ukraine for "protection".
DeleteWhere was you complaint when Felipe Calderon didn't do anything. All he did is sent soldiers without a strategy. Why don't you complaint the USA? All u people and maybe maga cultist know that the usa sells guns to them
DeleteWithout questions.
Mexican president should declare American gangs sending guns to Mexico, terrorist groups too. They contribute to the killings of thousands of people maybe more than fent.
DeleteEvery country that USA has "helped" has ended up in ruins
DeleteFirst of all, most people coming across the border from Mexico are coming from other South American countries. Second, we have our own corruption going on in the USA. So much for no wars in this administration! Yet starting problems with Mexico, Gaza, Greenland, Panama, Canada...
DeleteThe entire war on drugs was a cover. Look back over what actually happened during this time. The 100,000s of lives lost. Also look up the good ol USA and Iran Contra, drug running, weapons running, putting crack in black neighborhoods in the 80s, guarding of poppy fields by military (anyone else find it interesting that Fentanyl became popular when the US no longer had control of those fields?).
We don't always help, we often get what we want out of the conflict and leave the place in ruins.
THE USA IS TRYING TO INVAID MEXICO FOR OTHER REASONS. THEY DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE CARTELS. THEY HAVE AN AGENDA
Delete954 spot on. Mexico is challenging the U.S in a way that's never been seen before, and Trump's "make America great again" slogan includes making Mexico dependent on the U.S. let's look at all of the U.S, Canadian and Euuropean exploits that were sold off and are now being taken back and given to the Mexican people. The energy sector was sold off to the Spaniards and has now been partially bought back. Petroleum was partially privatized but with the purchase, renovations and construction of some oil refineries, Mexico is at a point where they can reduce the price of oil so much to were it will destabilize those foreign oil companies. The railroads were privatized and sold off to American and Canadian companies and once again Mexico has challenged that by creating a new railroad that connects a major commercial corridor. Lets also not forget about the tren Maya, it was imported from china not the U.S and built by mexicans, not foreign investors. It's no coincidence that the U.S wants the Panama Canal back, Mexicos construction of the Tehuantepec Isthmus railway put pressure on the U.S to threaten Panama. Mexico also put term limits on foreign mining companies. Just recently Mexico took back some land in Veracruz I believe that was being mismanaged by an american cement company. Mexico also nationalized their Lithium deposits and from my understanding signed a contract with a Chinese mining company who's going to build an electric car company nearby. The U.S is being excluded from all of these deals, why? Because the U.S isn't willing to share the profits, while other countries are. The U.S declaring cartels as terrorist is no different than declaring a war against Iraq to take over their oil fields. It's all smoke and mirrors, the U.S won't say it, and Mexico won't say it, because they're neighbors and trade partners and they must remain diplomatic. The Mexican president must remain stern in her stance, and as a diplomacy tactic, she needs to really put emphasis on Mexicos national sovereignty. She's doing right, she just needs to hang on for 4 years, because she will still be in office once Trump is gone.
Delete11 01
DeleteEverything you said inbthat ramble is bs. Mexico is a failed Narco state. You have been brainwashed.
11:01 elegantly said! You are absolutely right. Don't let the trump bots get to you, that's literally what they are, bots. Do a Google search for the Israeli bot center that exists. Israel literally has an army of bots dedicated to commenting and sharing pro-israel sentiment to get the public to believe that most people are for Israel in a similar way to something I've been seeing on Borderland beat, since the beginning of trump's presidency, every post that is uploaded to BB is commented by accounts praising trump and throwing shit on Claudia and Mexico and stating it will be invaded. Coincidentally (or not) they are always the first to comment, minutes or seconds after BB posts. I'll let you connect the dots.
Delete9:54 Um, no.
DeleteIsreal sends missiles all the time to neighboring countries who have terrorists that harm their people. If we send missiles into Mexico what would be the difference. We gave Mexico plenty of money and training to deal with their cartel problem. They can't fix it so now we must fix it for them. No more BS time. No more talking time. No more hugs and kisses for cartels. Just like Iran, Lebanon and Yemen that don't do anything. It's time to let the missiles fly. Let's start blasting. I already signed up. Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDeleteYou’re a complete idiot!! The u.s made and financed the cartels you think they want them gone? Who will they sell their weapons to
DeleteDad, can I borrow 50 dollas?
Delete"Whaddya need 40 dollars for?"
STFU Nuff said!!! Stop making your gringo friend want the product (drugs) and the issue is gone. Stop making 3rd party weapon purchases to the Cartel and you avoid less killings. Simple! But like every Trump lover they believe what they want and never make themselves accountable.
DeleteYou make sense
Delete4:10 Sure dude, we fund ISIS also right?
Delete4:10 Sure dude, we fund ISIS also right?
DeleteIgnorance at the highest level!
DeleteDumbass comment of the day goes you dummy. Your tinfoil hat is too tight compa
DeleteLet me guess! One of your dombass family members overdosed on fenty
Delete5:38 lol trump all ready admitted the cia founded all the terrorist organizations through usaid.
Delete5:38 If you believe that I got a bridge you might be interested in.
DeleteIts alright let them show how currupt they are we the americans will bomb the shit out of mexicos weak ass military if we want they wont even last a week let it come to light that she is trying to protect her flow of drug money secretly going to her pocket n see wat happens si no se alignia she will pay believe me
ReplyDeleteYou won't be just facing the military if you bring your white vinegar smelling ass over here. And remember that whites are now a minority in the US. And Mexicans operate and help run so many businesses and farms, I don't think they'll take it to lightly if there home country is invaded, and I doubt you or your president will be picking the crops needed for your next meal. but yeah whatever Cletus Spuckler, keep dreaming.
DeleteYou mean like how yall wiped out the taliban? Lmaooooooooooo
Delete4:13 looks like the idiot is you lol USA spent 20 years in Afghanistan and still couldn't defeat the Taliban 😆 and u acting like Mexico would be a push over add all the Mexican Latinos in United States wouldn't be very smart move if they attacked mexico
DeleteSure! Then World World 3 happens and everyone against the United States!!! Stupid people win stupid games.
DeleteYeah let’s bomb our neighbors they have a weak ass military haha you sir have no idea what you are talking about . Going to war with Mexico would be catastrophic for the US .They won’t last a week haha this isn’t a video game , you probably don’t realize that your neighbors where you live are Mexican .
DeleteHey Maga cultist. First of all. All you stupid maga morons take drugs everyday. The cartels don't force you to take it. It's your sorry asses that make choices. Those roaches are laughing at your orange Kool-aid drinking ass. By the way. USA sells guns. That's where the cartels getting the weapons from. Your hypocrisy is showing you maga morons. By the way. Trumps is Putin's bitch. That orange fatass doesn't give a dam about you or me or anybody. Maga morons are the biggest organized crime. He freed your comrades from prison. He's a criminal just like them. Your just a pawn. He only see magas like you as 🏧 😂
DeleteYou mean like “you Americans” handled ISIS or the Taliban? Goofy haha
DeleteI guess now that Trump is with Puttin the bombing could actually happen
Delete@4:13 Dude, the U.S has Special Forces down there right now training the Mexican Navy’s Marine Infantry on "conventional and non-conventional types of combat.".
DeleteMarine infantry an oxymoron 🐂
DeleteOf course she did. 1) Mexico changes the rules as they go. Makes you question if the 3rd world country actually has any rules. 2) Of course she's going to reform. The puppet masters (cartels) let her know what she better do or else! Sra. Presidenta, vaya hacer algo productivo como demandar a Google por el nombre del golfo. 😆
ReplyDeleteLMAO—“sovereignty”
ReplyDeleteWhenever Mexico says sovereign ty it means I need to protect the criminal cash cow! Only a follows blind idiot would think otherwise! We never hear about “sovereignty” when Mexico is sucking the USA taxpayer cock for welfare money!
Sheinbaun more worried about sovereignty than Mexico's citizens. All corrupt Morena, Pri, Pan candidates that allowed for the killings and breaking up families by the cartels against their own people. This is Colombia all over again.
ReplyDeleteNo more abrazos
ReplyDelete..just some balazos
Funny to see so many mexican Americans defending mexico and their cartels. Just as funny as the corrupt mexican government not wanting their cartel connections exposed. Cartels better stop messing with fentanyl or else.
ReplyDeleteLoL, keep believing these mainstream media outlets. They're just a tool to brainwash the ignorant masses.
ReplyDeleteElla esta en la bolsa de carteles.
ReplyDeleteShe is in the cartels pocket.
Thanks amlo.
A lot of mad short Central Americans in the comments, I bet it’s who runs this piece of shit site. Bunch of oompas from the jungles.
ReplyDeleteBetter short and central American than tall and MAGA small dicked dumbfucks.
DeleteTrump so much as touches Mexico and the world who Trump already isolated from America will respond in kind like they did with Russia.
Oh and to make it more clear a study was made around ten years ago about penis size per country and Mexico ranked larger than the US average size penis.
Look it up. Real up for Mexicans
Hahahah. The world doesn’t give a shit about Mexico. How delusional are you?
DeleteWhite people feel.superior but they're really not. They're just the most cunning and nasty of races. First of sunlight hurts you, your white ass probably isn't even from this planet as direct sunlight literally burns your skin. Your dicks are small (even your white women prefer that black dick) second, when you sweat you smell sour ASF, vinegar ass. Third of all, Americans are super ignorant compared to Europeans or other cultures who speak multiple languages, travel regularly and respect their peers and other cultures. 75% of Americans look like Cletus Spuckler.
Delete@0938… No, those countries do not have the funding, military power, etc. to do that. You might be upset about the physical attributes attacks but please don’t make rational comments. And why would you read an article about dick sizes. Fuck whatever you are, that’s just weird.
DeleteYeah, you're so proud of your countries that you don't want to live in them. Biggest cope ever.
Delete9:38 I am a patriotic America with a very stubby dick and I resent that comment.
DeleteC.I.A. will never get Mexico cooperation in anything, if the U.S. acts up. U.S. arm dealers will take a big profit hit bcuz they supply the weapons.
ReplyDeleteThis shows weakness.
ReplyDeleteQue ladraban perros vende patria?
ReplyDeleteOkay tough guy 😂 you’re nothing but a punk ass faggot! I know you coward types 🖕🏼
ReplyDeleteHey Borderland beat. Didn't you know that Sheinbaum was tough on crime during her time being mayor in Mexico City before she became president. The reason why she doesn't vow down to Cheeto Jesus (trump) is because she dealt people like that before. To you maga morons we didn't get shit on fatass border deal. She order 5000 national guards to retrieve and only let 10000 NG to stay. By the way. The Mexican armed forces been fighting the cartels even before she came into power. One more thing. She already had a strategy even before the orange fatass came into power. We should be more worried of not getting killed by planes and crazed trigger happy white Americans. Cheeto Jesus fired the people who were in charge of taking care from planes crashing each other. Labeling cartels as terrorist is just another distraction from his failed policies. Not policies but his horrible failed administration.
ReplyDeleteYou're not scared enough of "white Americans " to stay in the country you claim to be so proud of though huh?
DeleteRead again the first paragraph of this article. She is going to do what and why? This ignorant mop squeezer is protecting the cartels. All the poor, uneducated people voted for her and all she can do is fuck them over worse than amlo did.
DeleteShe’s hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI would do it.
DeleteMexico as a whole is just too corrupt to be able to deal with the Cartels.....no worry, Trump will go to war with them.
ReplyDeleteClaudia will not finish her 6 year term
ReplyDeleteAnd you never finish your periods.
Delete“The Mexican people will not accept under any circumstances interventions, interference or any other act from abroad that could be harmful to the integrity, independence and sovereignty of the nation,” Sheinbaum said.
ReplyDeleteShould’ve added… “that could be harmful to my payouts, contracts, properties, and other deals I have with the cartels.”
The Mexican people, can't defend themselves against Criminals Terrorists Cartels.
DeleteFAFO!
ReplyDeleteThe drone strikes can start with her.
ReplyDeleteIf every cartel pays the mexican president/goverment just a measly $30 million each theyll stay in business.
ReplyDeleteThe fentanyl was a stupid choice however. Pure poison shit
Of course she is. She's corrupt just like the rest of the presidents.
ReplyDelete#Mexicans4Trump
Your a jackass, I am Mexican and did not vote for Trump.
DeleteLies
Delete@10:04 well of you didn’t vote for him, then you lost. Please don’t collect the $5k supplemental checks this tax season, you’d be a hypocrite
DeleteDonald j trump needs to invade immediately, enough with games!
ReplyDeleteI’ll at your door step
DeleteOk, Claudia, you win, no American troops invading Mexico's sovereignty.
ReplyDeleteWe'll send in civilian contractors, say that they work for Coca-Cola or Nike!
Coming soon....
ReplyDeletePlacards that will be designed by Cartels..
"Mexican Lives Matter"
"No missiles in Mexico"
"We don't produce Fentanyl"
"We only grow corn"
It’s hilarious to see how many trump stans there is on a narco page LOL
ReplyDeleteApparently the Mexican government does more to protect drug cartels than it does to protect its citizens
ReplyDeleteWhether you want to accept it or not, the cartel members are also Mexican citizens and just as U.S citizens are entitled to fair trials and due process, so is the case in Mexico. Extrajudicial killings are neither accepted in the U.S nor Mexico, so it's not a matter of protecting criminals over law abiding citizens, it's providing equal protection for all as any democracy would.
Delete1:14
DeleteThere will be posthumous trials
Fair trials and due process are foreign concepts in Mexico. How many cartel members have been released due to a "technicality"?
Delete633 how many cartel members have been extradited to the U.S only to receive sweet deals from the U.S justice system.
Delete633 Mexico in general is a foreign concept to you. You know nothing about Mexico other than whatever bias media outlet you listen to... I wouldn't doubt it if BB is your only source of information.
DeleteIs that supposed to be a valid argument? Lol
DeleteIf the US steps into Mexico, they will lose California. California will become an independent Republic, Texas might follow. You can BET on that.
ReplyDeleteActually, states really aren't allowed to leave the U.S. union, this point was pretty much clarified in the Civil War, or as my southern homies call it, The War Between The States!
Delete“Bye Felicia!” Good luck with funding for your “republic.” This would NEVER happen.
Deletejajaja 12;51
Delete1251 why do you think that? Texas wants the border controlled so why would it consider that?
ReplyDeleteAnd California NEEDS to be invaded. Trying to leave would be the perfect excuse to do it.
I mean if you gotta change your constitution in 2025 because of the game then you should ask yourself, "was I ever even there?" Before you think you were even ever a part of the game.
ReplyDeletePhony ass smile n never mentions the cartels unless trump brings it up. She is more concerned about the gulf of mexico than the hundreds of thousands of disappeared or murdered, or even the femicide still active at the border.
ReplyDeleteWhen you see a politician smile, it's all in their mouth, their eyes don't move like in a sincere smile.
DeleteBody language experts always point this out.
AMLO, whether you liked him or not, seemed pretty authentic, overall.
SaidNuff!!!
Yup
DeleteNot true. Your comment tells me you don't really follow Mexican politics, only what the U.S media and BB feed you. She answers crime related questions almost on a daily and gives a monthly crime analysis where heads of whatever corresponding agency are allowed to speak and answer questions.
DeleteInteresting last name your “president” has….
ReplyDeleteEvery war the US has been involved in the white soldiers always kill and rape women kill innocent people for laughs
ReplyDeleteWhy don't we ever hear of gun seizures at the Mexican border to prevent them from entering Mexico? Daily there are reported seizures going into the US of items but with Mexico nothing. Mexico needs to overhaul their own border control with more agents, high end technology and getting the corrupt old guard out who flag known cars through for side pay.
ReplyDeleteMéxico's justice system doesn't even do shit when alerted that an individual possesses an illegal firearm at this specific address. An easy op to go to seize the weapons Mexico complains so much about, but then doesn't do shit to actually prevent. All just talk and no action because they consider their own citizens uneducated morons who will eat up whatever they claim, and when that doesn't work that blackout the media from.showing what a dumpster fire Mexico really is and the people being displaced by cartels fighting over territory actually wanting the US to come in because their own country has failed them and allows women and children to be used as human shields as their homes and businesses burn to the ground.
sovereignty My ass they no dam well they dont care about the people or mexico as a whole. They just want the millions from cartels no to stop to keep financing their parties.
ReplyDeleteWhile Claudia is busy rewriting the Mexican constitution, American troops are reconnoitering the coordinates of all her generals..
ReplyDeleteBye, bye, Brotherhood, Denzel Washington coming for you ⏳🗡️✈️🚀🚁
Shes just trying to protect the cartels...
