‘Restricted’: Did US troops try to cordon off a Mexican beach? Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum seeks the International Boundary and Water Commission intervention. by Sarah Shamin, Al Jazeera, November 20, 2025 As United States President Donald Trump promises to crack down on the illegal drug trade from Latin America, US troops appeared to arrive this week on a beach in northeast Mexico where they installed signs declaring the area “restricted” by the US Department of Defense. Trump and his Mexican counterpart, Claudia Sheinbaum, have been engaged in a back-and-forth war of words over the threat of US strikes on what it says are drug cartels in Mexico. What happened?On Monday, unidentified men arrived via boat at a beach in northeast Mexico, where they planted signs in the sandreading: “Warning: Restricted Area” in English and Spanish. The precise location of the beach has not been confirmed by either side, but a video circulating on social media and local news purports to show Mexican marines removing the signs. The video is described as footage from a beach frequented by locals and fishermen, known as Playa Bagdad, in an area where the Rio Grande, a river which originates in south-central Colorado in the US, flows into the Gulf of Mexico. Al Jazeera has not been able to verify this video. The signs stated that the area was Department of Defense property and had been declared restricted by “the commander”. They also stated that “unauthorized entry is prohibited” and “if you are found here, you may be detained and searched”. They additionally prohibited photography or drawings. The Gulf of Mexico is bound by Cuba; eastern states of Mexico, including Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo; and states on the Gulf Coast of the US: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. In January, Trump signed an executive order changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which was rejected by Mexico. The change has been reflected on Google Maps for users in the US. ‘Restricted’: Did US troops try to cordon off a Mexican beach? \| Border Disputes News \| Al Jazeera
