Mexico President Sheinbaum denies inciting LA protests: Calls US claims ‘absolutely false'; says Mexico backs peaceful diaspora support
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday denied a claim by US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem that she encouraged protests in Los Angeles against immigration raids, calling the allegation 'absolutely false.' Responding via social media, Sheinbaum shared a video from her daily press briefing the previous day, in which she had explicitly urged Mexicans in the United States 'to act peacefully' and condemned violent demonstrations. 'We have always been against violent protests,' she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). The diplomatic flare-up came after Noem told reporters at the White House, 'Claudia Sheinbaum came out and encouraged more protests in LA and I condemn her for that. She should not be encouraging violent protests that are going on.' Sheinbaum pushed back, reiterating Mexico's support for its diaspora and stressing that her administration stands for peace. 'Our position is and will continue to be the defense of honest, hardworking Mexicans who support the United States economy and their families in Mexico,' she said.
