Quote:

The Beltran operation was part of an expanded, and previously unreported, CIA campaign inside Mexico - spearheaded by the agency's elite and secretive Ground Branch - to dismantle the entrenched cartel networks, those sources as well as two additional people familiar with the campaign told CNN. President Donald Trump has designated several of those groups foreign terrorist organizations and deemed them to be at war with the United States.

Since last year, CIA operatives inside Mexico have directly participated in deadly attacks on several, mostly mid-level cartel members, the sources said. "The lethality of their operations has been seriously ramped up," said one of the people briefed on the operations. "It's a significant expansion of the kind of thing the CIA has been willing to do inside Mexico."

The level of CIA involvement with operations has varied, according to the sources, from more passive intelligence sharing and providing general support to direct participation in assassination operations.


Seems like we haven't heard much of CIA ops south of the border since the Iran-Contra days.

And if CNN is trumpeting it from the rooftops, you just know it would be better for everybody if it remained quiet. Because CNN is going to do the exact opposite of what's right every time.

I think this was a badly kept secret that was already common knowledge.

Mexico says 2 CIA agents killed in crash weren't authorized to participate in local raid
April 25, 2026 / 7:27 PM EDT / CBS/AP

Mexico's government said Saturday that two U.S. federal agents recently killed in a car crash in the country's northern region were not authorized to participate in operations in Mexico.

The two Americans killed in the crash were employees of the CIA, multiple people familiar with the matter told CBS News earlier this week. The CIA declined to comment.

The role of the two CIA agents, who were returning from destroying a clandestine drug lab in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, remains unclear.

Pretty sure the latest season of Taylor Sheridans Lioness explores some aspects of this scenario. In the age of retired military and agency consultants on film sets, even if they only talk about non-secret stuff for story purposes, the writers can invent scenarios in ways that are not that dissimilar from people sitting around am operational planning meeting to come up with solutions to tackle a problem like, let's say narco-terrorists.

The CIA is using narco-trafficers, playing both sides and waging a war against them all at the same time. This is what the CIA does.

The US government uses the cartels as a piggy bank. A few years ago I was watching some narco documentary towards the end they start talking about some mid level no name guy. Offer a 1 million dollar reward for this guy I thought strange alot of money for some no name dealer the next caption when they arrested him they seized 8 million from bank accounts in the US. Bingo a nice little 1 million investment nets 7 million profit for the good guys.

I support putting the cartels on the run, but until Mexican society is fundamentally changed there will just be another cartel formed to take the place of those that are knocked out

I am good with the CIA taking out those who would harm Americans

I am not good with the CIA spying on and using psyops against Americans

Not very secret if we're talking about it.
