Sheinbaum Blocks US Efforts To Crush Cartels As Mexico Faces Growing Chaos

As cartel violence continues to spiral out of control, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is taking a hard stance against US intervention, rejecting any possibility of foreign military action within her country. Despite Washington’s increasing pressure, Sheinbaum remains unwilling to allow outside forces to help dismantle the criminal organizations responsible for much of Mexico’s bloodshed.

Trump has intensified his administration’s fight against the cartels, designating multiple organizations as terrorist groups. Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the decision, saying it grants law enforcement stronger tools to weaken cartel operations. Elon Musk added to the debate by suggesting that the classification makes cartels “eligible for drone strikes,” fueling speculation about whether military action could be on the table.

Sheinbaum, whose election was surrounded by cartel-linked violence, rejected the US stance, insisting that Mexico will not tolerate interference. She pledged to introduce legal reforms to block any foreign military operations on Mexican soil, claiming that her government would accept “collaboration,” but never “intervention.”

While Sheinbaum refuses outside help, her administration has made small moves to reduce tensions with Washington. Mexican forces recently carried out large-scale drug seizures and increased security at the US border, though many see these actions as attempts to delay Trump’s proposed economic penalties rather than serious efforts to curb cartel power.

Meanwhile, US intelligence operations in Mexico have been expanding, with drone flights targeting fentanyl labs and cartel-controlled regions. Sheinbaum confirmed that these surveillance operations have been active for years but voiced her concerns over their increasing frequency.

As cartel violence worsens, Sheinbaum’s refusal to accept foreign assistance continues to raise alarms, leaving many questioning whether her loyalty lies with the Mexican people or with the powerful cartels that have long dictated the country’s security landscape.
