Mexico to continue coordination with U.S. on immigration, security

Mexico would continue to coordinate with the United States on immigration and security issues in the wake of Kristi Noem's recent dismissal as U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday.

"Mexico has an agreement with the U.S. government that was signed many months ago, and this agreement has to do with coordination between U.S. government agencies ... and the Federal Security Cabinet (of Mexico)," Sheinbaum said at her daily press conference in the western Jalisco state. U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday announced removing Noem from the post of head of Homeland Security and replacing her with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin.
