    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), along with its law enforcement partners from the DEA, FBI, CBP, the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Scottsdale Police Department, worked with the Government of Mexico to bring Mexican federal police officers into the United States in order to allow them to more safely execute their law enforcement operation in Mexico. The operation, dubbed Mexican Operation Diablo Express, targeted high level members of the Sinaloa cartel who operate in and around Sonoyta, Sonora Mexico and the U.S. border.

    A group of approximately 10-12 Mexican Federal Police (Policía Federal) officers are gathered in a circle inside what appears to be a warehouse or large indoor facility. The officers are engaged in what looks like a briefing or documentation activity, with several holding clipboards or papers. Faces have been pixelated/blurred in the image for privacy purposes.
    A dark-colored aircraft belonging to Mexico's Policía Federal (Federal Police) is parked on an airport tarmac at night.

Two individuals are standing near the aircraft's entrance stairs, and a support vehicle is visible in the background.
    The image shows a Mexican Federal Police (Policía Federal) armored vehicle numbered 14347 positioned at what appears to be a street intersection or checkpoint. Several armed law enforcement personnel are visible around the vehicle, including what appears to be a gunner positioned in the turret on top. The setting appears to be a border or urban area, likely in northern Mexico, during early morning or evening light.
    The image shows multiple law enforcement personnel from HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) gathered in a parking lot area near a tactical vehicle equipped with a satellite dish on its roof. The officers are wearing dark jackets marked 'POLICE HSI' on the back. The setting appears to be an outdoor operational staging area with buildings and a white tent visible in the background.
    A dark-colored law enforcement aircraft marked 'POLICÍA' is parked on a tarmac at night. The aircraft bears the registration XC-NPF and designation PF-402, along with a badge/shield emblem consistent with Mexican Federal Police (Policía Federal). Multiple personnel are gathered near the aircraft door, suggesting an operational deployment or transfer activity.
    Multiple law enforcement officers from HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) are gathered at the cargo hold of a large commercial or government aircraft at night.

    A nighttime scene showing multiple Mexican Federal Police (Policía Federal) vehicles and personnel assembled on an open gravel or dirt area. At least two marked Policía Federal vehicles are visible, including what appears to be a pickup truck (unit 1448) and an armored vehicle (unit 1434), along with an unmarked silver SUV. The scene suggests a law enforcement staging area, convoy assembly, or operational deployment.
    Law enforcement officers, identified by 'POLICE' and 'HSI' markings on their vests, are conducting an inspection inside what appears to be a truck or trailer. Large quantities of linked ammunition belts are spread across the wooden floor, alongside military-style ammunition crates. This appears to be an evidence seizure or contraband inspection operation.
