WorthyNews: Mexico Worried About Possible US Intervention Changes Constitution

WASHINGTON/MEXICO CITY (Worthy News) – Mexico’s president unveiled constitutional reforms Thursday amid concerns over possible American military intervention in her country after U.S. President Donald J. Trump designated six Mexican drug cartels as “foreign terrorist” organizations.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum warned that 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.”

On Thursday, the designation of eight Latin America-based criminal organizations was published in the U.S. Federal Register, carrying out a January 20 executive order by Trump.

The list includes Sinaloa, Jalisco, Zetas, Gulf Cartels, Cartel Unidos, and “La Nueva Familia Michoacana.” Other criminal entities — including the Venezuelan group Tren de Aragua and the Salvadoran gang Mara Salvatrucha, also known as MS-13 — were also named.

The U.S. hopes the designation, something usually reserved for terrorist groups with political rather than economic objectives, will increase pressure on the groups.

However, Sheinbaum said in comments monitored by Worthy News that she would not accept foreign interference in Mexico’s ongoing battle against drug cartels.

LIMITING ‘FOREIGN AGENTS’

The president seeks to enshrine current limits on the operations of “foreign agents” into the constitution and establish harsher penalties for gun trafficking.

“What we want to make clear in the face of this designation is that we do not negotiate sovereignty,” she warned.

Sheinbaum said Mexico was not consulted when the Trump administration designated the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

Terrorist designations against criminal syndicates have sparked debates over national sovereignty and whether such moves could justify extended actions by the U.S. government abroad.

Observers noted that tensions between the two neighbors could escalate if Washington believes it now has broader authority to operate against any cartel activity in Mexican territory.

It is also part of Trump’s plan to crack down on “illegal migration.”

President Trump has offered to help them with these criminals. All they have to do is ask. He offered this in first term as president, and now in his second term. It reminds me of Arafat of the plc leaser. Everytime an act of terror was committed against Israel, he complained he could not control them when Israel prvokes them. If they want these people taken out of power, Trumo will help. They are corrupt and in business with these people.

I'm not sure they are strong enough to have a choice.    I have read several places that Ukraine has been selling our military supplies to them.   Tucker Carlson says he knows for a fact they have.

Mexico makes big money from the illegals in the us and cartels. They do not want it stopped. Mexico has an app for illegals to get across the border into the us. They used to have maps to help them prior to the app.

The cartels siphon off pemex (mexican govt gas company) and sell it. The cartels have taken over avocado orchards etc. The cartels have bounties on law enforcement, military and political leaders unless they are willing to look the other way and accept pay offs. Mexican journalists are threatened and choose their lives so they do not report negative stuff about the cartels. Those who do publish get killed. They have bounties on the heads of various law enforcement leaders in arizona too. 

Periodically mass graves are found with thousands of people in it. People who were going about normal lives, got kidnapped and forced into making drugs or whatever business the cartels had, then discarded and killed. They included american citizens.

Back when the us media wasnt so corrupt, this was in the news a lot. In the "woke" era, you rarely see it unless local sources report it. 

The cartels own and run mexico despite what the news would have you believe.
