Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is warning the United States not to invade Mexico’s sovereignty. The announcement comes one day after the Trump administration designated eight organized crime groups — six of them from Mexico — as foreign terrorist organizations.

After the State Department made the designations, Elon Musk, who has become a prominent member of the Trump administration, wrote on X, “That means they’re eligible for drone strikes.”

In response, Sheinbaum said Thursday, Feb. 20, “The Mexican people will under no circumstances accept interventions, intrusions, or any other action from abroad that are detrimental to the integrity, independence, or sovereignty of the nation, such as coups, interference in elections or violations of Mexican territory, whether by land, sea, or air.”

Sheinbaum said the U.S. made the designation without consulting Mexico. She said she would propose a constitutional amendment to further protect her country’s national sovereignty. She added that Mexico is committed to fighting the cartels and wants to help curb the flow of fentanyl.

In January, Sheinbaum deployed 2,500 Mexican troops to the U.S.-Mexico border, a move that halted Trump’s tariffs on Mexican goods.

Officials told The New York Times earlier this month that the CIA was ramping up drone flights over Mexico to hunt down fentanyl labs.
