Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of Mexico, confirmed that U.S. military personnel entered Mexican territory in the Nogales area, a point on the border between Arizona and Sonora. However, she asserted that the unauthorized entry “was not intentional.”
According to the president, the incursion was due to an error during an operation. “They crossed about two meters (around 6.5 feet) into the border and were immediately asked to turn back, which they did,” she stated at a morning press conference.
“It wasn’t an intervention. They were conducting an operation and withdrew immediately, but it wasn’t intentional,” she told the press.

The incursion occurred at the railroad crossing in Nogales. US military personnel were reinforcing the train’s entry gate and border infrastructure, work during which crossing into Mexico was permitted for about an hour.
During this operation, agents placed barbed wire, razor wire, and other obstacles at the crossing point to prevent irregular entry.
Reports from the scene indicated that, upon the arrival of eight to ten US military personnel, members of the Mexican National Guard asked them to withdraw, which allegedly led to a brief argument between members of the police forces of both countries.
