Sheinbaum Details Shouting Match with Chihuahua Governor over CIA Raid: Friday’s Mañanera Recapped
Sheinbaum said Campos blamed her former prosecutor for the alleged entry of CIA agents into the raid, as he faces a federal treason charge.
- On Friday, President Claudia Sheinbaum disclosed that Chihuahua Governor Maru Campos blamed her former state prosecutor, César Jáuregui, for unauthorized CIA involvement in an April drug lab raid.
- The April 17-19, 2026, operation in Chihuahua's Sierra Tarahumara targeted clandestine drug labs, but a vehicle crash killed four people, including two Americans; Mexican officials describe them as CIA officers.
- Facing treason charges after his arrest last week, Jáuregui awaits a federal judge's decision on Saturday whether to send the former prosecutor to trial for his alleged role in the incident.
- During a September meeting, Campos defended herself by stating, "It wasn't me, it was my former prosecutor," while also accusing Ariadna Montiel, leader of Mexico's ruling party, of links to crime.
- Jáuregui's defense claims the arrest is politically motivated and tied to internal party disputes; they plan to appeal a state ruling from October 22 that allowed a charge to proceed.
