Overview
- Mexico’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement rejecting assertions of political interference and said its 53 U.S. consulates operate with strict neutrality under the Vienna Convention and U.S. law.
- President Trump promoted Peter Schweizer’s The Invisible Coup on social media, and the endorsement helped the title rise to No. 8 on Amazon’s nonfiction list.
- Schweizer alleges that the Mexican government and Morena weaponize migration to influence U.S. elections, asserting consular political activity and citing examples such as a 2023 ‘territorios ocupados’ remark by Senator Gerardo Fernández Noroña.
- The book also references Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s 2017 visits to U.S. cities and President Claudia Sheinbaum’s promotion of a migrant-themed song as part of its broader thesis.
- Conservative outlets, including Fox News and Bannon’s War Room, amplified the claims, while journalists and commentators criticized the book’s evidentiary basis and noted U.S. laws barring foreign election interference.
