In a notable shift from months of diplomatic tension between Washington and Mexico City, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin publicly praised Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's cooperation in the fight against organized crime, saying her administration has been "much more cooperative" than its predecessor and has impressed U.S. officials.
Speaking before the House Homeland Security Committee, Mullin recounted his recent trip to Mexico City, where he met with Sheinbaum and members of her security cabinet.
