Mexico will allow DEA and FBI to enter the country
The government of Mexico decided to give access to United States security agencies, such as the DEA and the FBI, as long as they comply with the rules, notify in advance, and ask for permission to enter the territory.
This was reported by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador,
who detailed that so that there are no operations with negative balances in the
country, such as the so-called Fast and Furious, the regulation of visits to
our country by agents of these agencies.
He stressed that the government of Mexico “has nothing to
hide,” so it promotes transparency with other countries, as long as they
respect the regulations.
Regarding the trip of the representative director of the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), David S. Cohen, to our country, the chief
executive assured it was a “routine” visit.
President: Mexico, Open To Scrutiny
López Obrador explains that the CIA representative
director’s visit was “routine”; the law no longer allows foreign agencies to
operate without the knowledge of the government.
Based on transparency and rules, Mexico decided to open its
doors to all United States security agencies, said President Andrés Manuel
López Obrador, describing the visit to our country by the representative
director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), David S. Cohen, as
“routine”.
However, López Obrador clarified that the new rules require
security agencies to “request permission and notify” the government of the
Republic of their presence.
Routine Visit
“It is a routine relationship, a routine visit, he clarified
that he was the representative director and they are very respectful, and we
have decided to listen to everyone and open the doors to all governments, to
international diplomacy, to all agencies, to the DEA, to the FBI, we have
nothing to hide, transparency, a golden rule of democracy, only that there are
rules, remember that the law on the matter has just been reformed and it is no
longer the time of before, in which agencies intervened in our territory even
without asking permission, without warning, that is no longer allowed, ” said
the President.
He added that so that there are no longer operations with
negative balances for our country, such as the so-called Fast and Furious , it
was decided to modify the regulation of visits to the national territory by
these agencies.
He reiterated that cooperation with the US government is
essential and there is a good relationship, there is friendship, and
collaboration.
We Share A Border
“In addition, we are forced to agree because we are
neighbors, we have a border of 3,180 kilometers in common and we are working
well, that is why the vice president of the United States, Kamala Harris, will
be with us on June 8, but the issue is related to migration and much progress
is being made, “AMLO said, rejecting that Cohen’s presence in our country was
to evaluate Mexico’s relationship with Cuba, Venezuela, and Bolivia.
By ruling out that this was the reason the US official
visited our country, he commented that there is progress in containing the
immigration problem, since, unlike last March, when the problem worsened,
currently there are better results in the deportation of migrants who try to
cross the border when registering a significant drop in these operations.
He stressed that the joint plan carried out with federal,
state and municipal authorities is giving results.
“We are no longer on critical levels of illegal immigration”
AMLO concluded.
