墨西哥总统欣鲍姆驳德州格兰德河九岛主张：属选举议题、只有双边边界委员会能裁定
墨西哥总统 Claudia Sheinbaum 11月3日在晨间新闻发布会上表示，美国 Texas 州声称格兰德河（Rio Grande）上九座岛屿属于 Texas 是「选举议题」，Texas 无权单方面裁定边界主权问题。被问及该主张是否出于选举动机时，她回答：「从我的角度看，是的。」她并表示，这类问题不是 Texas 政府能决定的，须通过双边边界委员会裁定。
Texas 总土地办公室专员 Dawn Buckingham 10月27日称，经审阅历史记录与测量资料，已「确认这九座岛屿属于 Texas 州」。墨西哥外交部10月30日拒绝任何单方面改变边界的做法，指出1970年《边界条约》规定国际边界位于河流正常河道的中央，只有国际边界与水域委员会（CILA）有权判定每座岛屿位于边界的哪一侧；墨方表示将监测该区域的任何行动。
Mexico's Sheinbaum Rejects Texas Claim to Nine Rio Grande Islands as an Electoral Issue
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on November 3 that the US state of Texas's claim to nine islands in the Rio Grande is an "electoral issue", and that Texas has no authority to settle questions of sovereignty on the border. Asked at her morning press conference whether the claim was electorally motivated, she answered: "Yes, from my point of view, yes." She added that the government of Texas does not decide such questions, which are decided through the bilateral boundary commission.
Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham said on October 27 that a review of historical records and surveys had "confirmed these nine islands belong to the State of Texas". Mexico's Foreign Ministry rejected any unilateral change to the border on October 30, citing the 1970 Boundary Treaty, which places the international line at the centre of the river's normal channel, and said only the International Boundary and Water Commission (CILA) can determine which side of the border each island is on. Mexico said it will monitor any action in the area.
