On February 4, 2025, President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo announced the deployment of 10,000 National Guard members to the U.S.-Mexico border. This strategic move aims to contain the flow of fentanyl into the United States while maintaining security across Mexico. The operation, coordinated by General Ricardo Trevilla Trejo, involves reallocating troops from areas with lower violence levels to the border regions.
During her morning press briefing, President Sheinbaum emphasized that troop deployments would not compromise internal security, thanks to the National Guard’s capacity of 120,000 members. She reassured citizens that the support at the northern border also strengthens Mexico’s overall border security, specifically in states like Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas.
Furthermore, President Sheinbaum highlighted the importance of collaboration with the United States to combat illicit drug trafficking and called for efforts to address the illegal arms trade into Mexico. She underscored the urgency of investigating how high-powered weapons, such as grenade launchers, are entering the country.
