"There won't be an invasion."

"I believe it's not going to happen."

We will not send military "to invade Mexico."

"There is no evidence that the U.S. is considering military action against Mexico or election interference."

"It [the idea of military strikes in Mexico] sounds good, but it's not real."

"Trump's history with this threat [to invade Mexico] suggests we should take it more seriously."

President Trump is committed to "using the full might of the United States special operations to take them [drug cartels] out [of Mexico]."

An invasion of Mexico is "something I could actually see Trump doing."

"If it takes military action [against Mexico], that's what we'll have to do."

US sending troops into Mexico "could happen."

Will the USA Invade Mexico?

Marches were planned in Mexico City on Thursday, the opening day of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with up to seven groups — including teachers, farmers, pensioners and transport workers — set to converge near Azteca Stadium as Mexico prepared to face South Africa.

Teachers affiliated with the CNTE union set up a protest camp near the Zócalo, Mexico City's main square, blocking access to the plaza designated as the FIFA Fan Festival site. The union is demanding a 100% salary increase and a return to a state-guaranteed pension system.

Families of missing persons marched along Calzada de Tlalpan toward Azteca Stadium on Wednesday evening, carrying photos and search flyers. City officials blocked their advance roughly 500 meters from the stadium, citing a security perimeter known as the "last mile."
