一名美国官员周四对CBS新闻表示,国务院正对美国境内运营的全部53家墨西哥领事馆启动审查,此举可能促使国务卿马尔科·卢比奥考虑下令关闭部分外交机构。
此次审查正值两国在安全合作与贩毒集团暴力问题上的双边紧张关系升级之际,且发生于上月美国两名中央情报局(CIA)官员在墨西哥北部的一次反毒行动中身亡之后。
一名国务院官员表示,此次审查是将美国外交政策与特朗普政府优先事项保持一致的更广泛举措的一部分。
负责全球公共事务的助理国务卿迪伦·约翰逊表示:“国务院一直在持续审查美国外交关系的各个方面,以确保其符合总统的‘美国优先’外交政策议程,并维护美国的利益。”
墨西哥拥有美国规模最大的外国领事网络,其各领事馆为居住在美国各地的数百万墨西哥公民提供证件办理和法律援助服务。多数领事馆集中在边境州以及拥有大量墨西哥裔美国人聚居的城市,包括加利福尼亚州、得克萨斯州和亚利桑那州。
近年来,美国关闭领事馆通常反映出与竞争对手国家的紧张关系升级,而非例行外交调整。2020年,随着美中关系恶化,特朗普政府以担心间谍活动和知识产权盗窃为由,下令关闭中国驻休斯敦领事馆。2017年,美国下令俄罗斯关闭其驻旧金山领事馆以及驻华盛顿和纽约的外交设施,以回应莫斯科驱逐美国外交官的行为。
上月,两名美国官员(后经CBS新闻确认,二人任职于中央情报局)在墨西哥北部的一次行动中身亡,二人与两名墨西哥调查人员一同在偏远山区的车辆坠亡事故中遇难,当时执法人员正在追捕涉嫌制毒窝点的人员。此事随后加剧了美墨两国间的紧张局势。
美国驻墨西哥大使罗纳德·约翰逊于4月19日在X平台上发文宣布了两名使馆工作人员的死讯。
墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·舍因鲍姆称,美国官员可能未获得墨西哥联邦政府授权就在该国开展行动,并公开要求特朗普政府作出解释,这一事件迅速引发了政治争议。
近几日,这场争端进一步升级。美国宣布对墨西哥多名高层政治人物提起贩毒和武器走私指控,并提出多项引渡请求,其中包括针对锡那罗亚州州长鲁文·罗查·莫亚的引渡要求。
舍因鲍姆本周表示,墨西哥外交部已向美国华盛顿方面发送外交照会,要求美国司法部提供针对罗查及其他高级官员的指控证据。她称,若能提供可信证据,墨西哥总检察长办公室将展开调查。
罗查否认了相关指控,称其为虚假信息,并表示将暂时离任,专注为自己辩护,并配合墨西哥当局推进此案。
美国驻墨西哥大使馆随后表示,打击腐败和跨国有组织犯罪仍是两国政府的共同优先事项。该使馆拒绝就具体指控置评,但表示任何助长有组织犯罪的腐败行为“只要符合美国司法管辖权,都将被调查和起诉”。
此次外交冲突发生之际,中央情报局局长约翰·拉特克利夫正在推进扩大反毒行动。他一直致力于推进特朗普政府的一项核心优先事项,即深化与墨西哥缉毒部门的情报共享和培训合作,并包括在墨西哥上空部署监视无人机,以追踪贩毒集团的行动。
美国日益扩大的参与程度在墨西哥引发了关于国家主权以及与特朗普政府安全合作的辩论,尤其是在特朗普多次扬言要对贩毒集团采取单方面军事行动的背景下。
中央情报局拒绝置评。
CBS新闻已联系墨西哥驻华盛顿大使馆,请求置评。

State Department reviewing all Mexican consulates in U.S. as tensions grow

The State Department is initiating a review of all 53 Mexican consulates operating in the United States, a U.S. official told CBS News on Thursday, in a move that could lead Secretary of State Marco Rubio to consider ordering the closure of some diplomatic offices.
The review comes as bilateral tensions build over security cooperation and cartel violence, and it follows the deaths of two American CIA officers after a counter-narcotics operation in northern Mexico last month.
A State Department official said the review is part of a broader effort to align U.S. foreign policy with the Trump administration’s priorities.
Dylan Johnson, assistant secretary of state for global public affairs, said the “Department of State is constantly reviewing all aspects of American foreign relations to ensure they are in line with the President’s America First foreign policy agenda and advance American interests.”
Mexico maintains the largest foreign consular network in the United States, with offices that provide documentation and legal aid to millions of Mexican citizens living across the country. Most are concentrated in border states and cities with large Mexican American populations, including California, Texas and Arizona.
In recent years, U.S. consulate closures have usually reflected rising tensions with rival countries rather than routine diplomatic changes. In 2020, as relations between Washington and Beijing worsened, the Trump administration ordered China’s consulate in Houston to close, citing concerns over espionage and intellectual property theft. In 2017, the U.S. ordered Russia to close its consulate in San Francisco, along with diplomatic facilities in Washington and New York, in response to Moscow expelling American diplomats.
Tensions between the U.S. and Mexico spiked last month following the deaths of two American officials — later confirmed by CBS News to have been working for the CIA — who died alongside two Mexican investigators after their vehicle crashed in a remote mountain region where authorities were targeting suspected drug laboratories.
U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson announced the deaths of two embassy staff members in a post on X on April 19.
The operation quickly stoked political controversy, after Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said the American officers may not have had authorization from the federal government to operate in the country and publicly demanded explanations from the Trump administration.
The dispute has widened in recent days, as the U.S. announced drug trafficking and weapons charges against top Mexican political figures and issued multiple extradition requests, including one for Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya.
Sheinbaum said this week that Mexico’s Foreign Ministry sent a diplomatic note to Washington requesting evidence from the U.S. Justice Department regarding the allegations against Rocha and other senior officials, saying Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office would investigate if credible evidence was provided.
Rocha denied the accusations, calling them false, and said he would temporarily leave office to focus on his defense and cooperate with Mexican authorities as the case proceeds.
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico later said combating corruption and transnational organized crime remains a shared priority for both governments. While declining to comment on the specific allegations, the embassy said corruption that enables organized crime “will be investigated and prosecuted wherever U.S. jurisdiction applies.”
The diplomatic strife comes amid an expanded CIA counternarcotics push under Director John Ratcliffe, who has sought to advance a key Trump administration priority by deepening intelligence-sharing and training with Mexican antidrug units and has included surveillance drone flights over Mexico targeting cartel operations.
The growing U.S. role has fueled debate in Mexico over its sovereignty and security cooperation with the Trump administration, especially as President Trump has repeatedly floated taking unilateral military action against cartels.
The CIA declined to comment.
CBS News has reached out to the Mexican embassy in Washington, D.C., for comment.
