Mexico to reform constitution in wake of US terrorism designations

Mexico's President proposes constitutional reform regarding the US investigating or pursuing action against the cartels.
It's telling that Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum hasn't appeared willing to cooperate with Trump/US in dealing with the problem of the cartels. She continues to blab about Mexico's sovereignty, rather than offering any assistance in dealing with them. It's clear she's either scared or has been bought by the cartels.

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum said Thursday she will propose constitutional reforms aimed at protecting Mexico’s sovereignty after U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration designated six Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

Sheinbaum said during her daily press briefing Thursday that Mexico also wouldn’t allow outside involvement in investigations or prosecutions without authorization and collaboration of the Mexican government.

Former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Sheinbaum’s predecessor, had already written into Mexican law limits to how foreign agents could operate in Mexico, limiting their independence and requiring that Mexican authorities be informed of their movements. Sheinbaum proposes enshrining those limits in the constitution.

It's highly likely any information shared by the US with Mexico about the cartels would find its way to the cartels. If Trump's idea labeling the cartels terrorist was to motivate Mexico's government to begin cracking down, it hasn't worked. It will be interesting to see this play out.
