MEXICO CITY: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday rejected an allegation by a senior US official that she encouraged demonstrations against immigration raids in Los Angeles, calling it “absolutely false.”
She responded on social media after Kristi Noem, President Donald Trump’s homeland security secretary, accused her of “encouraging violent protests.”
Sheinbaum reposted a video of her daily news conference the previous day, when she had condemned violent demonstrations and urged Mexicans living in the US “to act peacefully.”
