Is the US establishing a presence in Mexico? A US military drone flies over Valle de Bravo.

In recent days, the United States' security presence and its relationship with Mexico have strengthened. Now, on the morning of Wednesday, August 13, social media reported an alleged flight of a U.S. military aircraft over Mexican territory.

Despite clarifications from Mexican authorities, the neighboring country's military presence is being questioned not only in the alleged overflight, but also in its recent bilateral movements, such as the recent transfer of 26 drug traffickers.

An image circulated on social media with information from the Flightradar24 website, which shows data from a United States Air Force aircraft that took off from Texas, flying over the Valle de Bravo.

"They are drones or unmanned aircraft (...) they fly in support and collaboration with our research," said Omar García Harfuch at a recent press conference.

Some specialists point out that the alleged intervention was carried out to hunt down Johnny and José Alfredo Hurtado Olascoaga, leaders of the New Michoacan Family.

On the afternoon of Tuesday, August 12, Mexican authorities arrested 27 alleged members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) in Aguascalientes. The operation was carried out using tactical techniques acquired through binational training by the INL and the FBI, designed to neutralize armed targets with high firepower.

On the same day, the Attorney General's Office and the Ministry of Security reported that 26 hitmen were transferred to the United States for their ties to organized crime.

They will face charges of drug trafficking, organized crime, money laundering, and violent offenses in U.S. courts. Among those arrested is Servando Gómez Martínez, known as "La Tuta," former leader of the Knights Templar and one of Mexico's most wanted criminals.
