Overview

• The PAN bloc in the Senate issued a statement expressing firm solidarity with Téllez and defending her right to speak on security policy.
• Téllez says she invited cooperative “help,” not foreign intervention, in a Fox News interview where she welcomed assistance from the United States and President Donald Trump.
• President Claudia Sheinbaum called it “not minor” for a senator to seek outside involvement and framed the issue as one of national sovereignty.
• Morena leader Luisa María Alcalde accused Téllez of being willing to “sell the country” and “betray the homeland,” while a PT deputy asked the Senate Ethics Commission to open an inquiry.
• The dispute has spilled into Congress, including a heated exchange between Téllez and Gerardo Fernández Noroña at the Permanent Commission, and commentators have also criticized her.
