The Mexican government says two US agents who died last weekend in a car crash had not been authorised to operate in the country.
The officials, who reportedly worked for the CIA, had taken part in a raid on suspected drug labs in the northern state of Chihuahua before their vehicle skidded off a mountain road and exploded.
Following an investigation ordered by President Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's security ministry said that "neither had formal accreditation to participate in operational activities" and that federal authorities had not been informed of their presence.
The incident comes amid at-times fraught relations between Mexico and the US on a number of issues including counter-narcotics.

We don't need no stinking badges!
I don’t think the CIA asks anyone for permission to do anything.
If they were permitted in Mexico the drugs labs would have been tipped off.
And Mexico has 1/3 of their population in our country that “aren’t permitted”.
Including a vicious army of murderous gangbangers some of whom - a very tiny amount of whom - were taken down yesterday.
Hypocrisy is such a tiny word to describe her carping.
Chihuahua wanted them but the corrupt president didn’t, they weren’t authorized by the feds but they had the support of the local state.
“Chihuahua State Attorney General César Jáuregui told a news conference that the US officials were “instructor officers” from the US embassy engaged in “training work as part of the general and normal exchange we have with the US authorities”.
“As always, should you or any of your IMF force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.”
Ah, I see, they’d like us to respect their borders.
Oh, so that makes it ok then. The whole government is crooked, from the President and armed forces to the lowliest police officer. The drug lords would have been notified if the government knew ahead of time.
AMEN
No one is illegal on stolen land, Señorita Sheinbaum
So uh… who gave them permission to go on the raid?
Just doing jobs Mexicans don’t want to do.
Ah, I see, they’d like us to respect their borders.
Check out the hoops you’d have to jump through if you decided you wanted to live within their borders. You have to ask them nicely and show that you won’t be any kind of burden on their government and don’t even think about having any kind of role in their politics by doing things like even being near a demonstration.
Oh. Okay. Game on.
In other words, they aren’t permitted unless the cartel-toady Mexican government knows and can inform the cartels first.
I’m fine with going to war with Mexico like we have with Iran.
Gee I wonder if it 'had any help skidding and exploding', and from whom. So many players in that game down there, and none of them beyond rigging an explosive 'accident'.
Well, the Cartels aren’t permitted to operate here either.
