President Sheinbaum said on the 5th Mexico will strengthen security deployments
along the border and conduct a new round of “mirror operations” with the U.S. in
response to recent developments. U.S. officials have alleged shots were fired
from the Mexican side toward the U.S.; Mexico has requested evidence but has not
obtained material confirming the claim, and Mexico’s National Guard, Defense
Ministry and Navy have found no such shooting. To prevent similar incidents,
Mexico’s Defense Ministry and Navy, via the foreign ministry, have communicated
directly with U.S. Northern Command and the Coast Guard to propose mirror
operations in Tamaulipas along the Texas border, deploying forces on both banks
of the Rio Grande for synchronized patrols.
