MEXICO CITY — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Monday ruled out a conflict with the United States over the deaths of two Central Intelligence Agency agents in an accident in the state of Chihuahua. Sheinbaum said the federal government expects the U.S. to respect Mexico's constitution and national security laws moving forward.

According to the Mexican government, the two CIA agents were not authorized to operate in the country. Mexico's Ministry of Security said one of the U.S. agents entered Mexico on a visitor visa, while the other entered using a diplomatic passport, and reiterated that it was unaware that foreign agents were operating within its territory.

"The details of the operation in Chihuahua must be clarified," Sheinbaum said, urging the Attorney General's Office and other authorities to take action following an upcoming Senate debate. She said she was willing to move past the controversy and hoped the incident would remain an isolated case.

César Jáuregui Moreno, head of the Chihuahua state prosecutor's office, resigned on Monday night. Jáuregui had earlier walked back public comments about the case under pressure from Sheinbaum.

Chihuahua Governor María Eugenia Campos has been called to testify in Mexico City on Tuesday alongside Jáuregui. The CIA has declined to comment on the deaths of the agents.

Last year, the Mexican government reached an agreement with the Trump administration to coordinate actions and exchange security information while respecting the sovereignty of both countries. For decades, the presence of the CIA and the Drug Enforcement Administration in Mexico has been the subject of controversies. In 2012, a U.S. Embassy vehicle was shot at on the outskirts of Mexico City, and two CIA agents were wounded.
