Claudia Sheinbaum rejected US homeland security chief’s claim that she ‘came out and encouraged more protests’
Mexico’s president has rejected an unfounded allegation by a senior US official that she encouraged demonstrations against immigration raids in Los Angeles, saying it is “absolutely false”.
Claudia Sheinbaum responded on social media after Kristi Noem, Donald Trump’s homeland security secretary, accused her of “encouraging violent protests”.
Sheinbaum reposted a video of her daily news conference the previous day, in which she had condemned violent demonstrations and urged Mexicans living in the United States “to act peacefully”.
“We have always been against” violent protests, she wrote on Twitter/X.
