Sheinbaum Critiques Immigration

Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's president, has taken a firmer stance on U.S. immigration policies after Mexican citizens died in ICE custody, condemning detention conditions as incompatible with human rights.
Amid U.S. pressure, she paused oil shipments to Cuba and criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s energy blockade as unjust.
Analysts say her tougher tone signals a balance between meeting U.S. demands and protecting Mexico's sovereignty, while she continues humanitarian aid to Cuba.
