WATCH: Mexican Senators Fight In Congress During Debate Over U.S. Military Intervention Against Cartels

Two Mexican senators had a physical fight in Congress following a debate over U.S. military intervention against cartels in the country.

CBS News detailed that Alejandro Moreno, leader of the opposition PRI party, confronted Senate president Gerardo Fernandez Noroña after the session ended for not being given the floor.

Moreno can be seen pushing Noroña several times. He also slaps him on the neck and then pushes another man to the ground when he was trying to intervene.

The outlet noted that both the opposition PRI and PAN parties were accused of calling for the U.S. to conduct military strikes against cartels on Mexican soil. Both parties have denied the claim.

Noroña said he would file a complaint against Moreno for bodily harm and asked for his legislative immunity be revoked. "They lose their minds because they were exposed," he said.

Moreno, on his end, accused Noroña of starting the clash: "He was the one who started the attack; he did it because he couldn't silence us with arguments." "He threw the first shove, and he did it out of cowardice," he added.

The possibility that the Trump administration carries out unilateral strikes against cartels on U.S. soils has dominated the conversation since President Donald Trump took office and his administration designated several such groups as terrorist organizations.

Last week the White House did not deny making plans to strike Mexican cartels following a report claiming that officials requested the military draw up options.

"The Department of Defense will not comment on future operations considering operational security," officials told the Daily Mail.

The outlet sent the questions following a report by investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein, who claimed that three military sources told him they were asked to prepare "lethal strike" options against the criminal organizations. He added that the options could be ready as soon as mid-September.

Two analysts warned earlier this month that President Donald Trump could order military strikes on Mexican soil even without the authorization of counterpart Claudia Sheinbaum, noting that a "lack of permission never stopped the U.S. from carrying out drone strikes in the Middle East."
