    How do you know that’s what happened here?

    I don’t know for sure about this specific case, but as the article states,

    President Claudia Sheinbaum has been under mounting pressure from Washington to intensify her offensive against drug cartels blamed for producing and smuggling drugs, particularly the synthetic opioid fentanyl, across the border to the U.S.

    That a high-profile military operation likely to lead to random violence and instability is happening two months after the Venezuela debacle and Trump threatening to bomb Mexico could be a coincidence, but it definitely doesn’t have to be, and either way the fact of US pressure doesn’t change.
