Most are concentrated in border states and cities with large Mexican American populations, including California, Texas and Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, U.S. consulate closures have usually reflected rising tensions with rival countries rather than routine diplomatic changes. In 2020, as relations between Washington and Beijing worsened, the Trump administration <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/china-consulate-houston-united-states-orders-closed\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">ordered China&#8217;s consulate in Houston to close<\/a><\/span>, citing concerns over espionage and intellectual property theft. In 2017, the U.S. ordered Russia to close its <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/state-department-denies-that-fbi-searched-russian-diplomatic-offices\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">consulate in San Francisco<\/a><\/span>, along with diplomatic facilities in Washington and New York, in response to Moscow expelling American diplomats.<\/p>\n<p>Tensions between the U.S. and Mexico spiked last month following the deaths of two American officials \u2014 later confirmed by CBS News to have been working for the CIA \u2014 who died alongside two Mexican investigators after their vehicle crashed in a remote mountain region where authorities were targeting suspected drug laboratories.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson announced the deaths of two embassy staff members in a post on X on April 19.<\/p>\n<p>The operation quickly stoked political controversy, after Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/mexico-military-unaware-cia-agents-killed-crash-drug-lab-raid-sheinbaum\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">said<\/a><\/span> the American officers may not have had authorization from the federal government to operate in the country and publicly demanded explanations from the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>The dispute has <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/mexico-wants-evidence-officials-cartel-links-claudia-sheinbaum\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">widened in recent days<\/a><\/span>, as the U.S. announced drug trafficking and weapons charges against top Mexican political figures and issued multiple extradition requests, including one for Sinaloa Governor <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/mexican-governor-accused-of-drug-trafficking-steps-down\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Rub\u00e9n Rocha Moya<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sheinbaum said this week that Mexico&#8217;s Foreign Ministry sent a diplomatic note to Washington requesting evidence from the U.S. Justice Department regarding the allegations against Rocha and other senior officials, saying Mexico&#8217;s Attorney General&#8217;s Office would investigate if credible evidence was provided.<\/p>\n<p>Rocha denied the accusations, calling them false, and said he would <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/mexico-us-indictment-drugs-sinaloa-governor-bfc51a05d2082e9c9b1060aa8840677b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">temporarily leave office<\/a> to focus on his defense and cooperate with Mexican authorities as the case proceeds.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Embassy in Mexico later <a href=\"https:\/\/mx.usembassy.gov\/accountability-for-the-safety-of-our-peoples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> combating corruption and transnational organized crime remains a shared priority for both governments. While declining to comment on the specific allegations, the embassy said corruption that enables organized crime &#8220;will be investigated and prosecuted wherever U.S. jurisdiction applies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The diplomatic strife comes amid an expanded CIA counternarcotics push under Director John Ratcliffe, who has sought to advance a key Trump administration priority by deepening intelligence-sharing and training with Mexican antidrug units and has included surveillance drone flights over Mexico targeting cartel operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The growing U.S. role has fueled debate in Mexico over its sovereignty and security cooperation with the Trump administration, especially as President Trump has repeatedly floated taking unilateral military action against cartels.<\/p>\n<p>The CIA declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p>CBS News has reached out to the Mexican embassy in Washington, D.C., for comment.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p
