The Mexican authorities, amid threats of imposing 25 percent duties, handed over to the United States 29 drug lords who were sentenced or accused of leading drug cartels, murders and other crimes. This is reported by Reuters and CNN.
According to their information, in particular, Rafal Caro Quintero, one of the founders of the Guadalajara Cartel, who was involved in drug trafficking in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s and had been wanted since 1985, when he allegedly killed an agent of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), was transferred to the US law enforcement agencies.
Mexico also extradited Martin Sotelo, who is suspected of being involved in the murder of Deputy Sheriff Ned Byrd in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2022, and Antonio Oseguera Cervantes, the head of the so—called Jalisco new generation cartel.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has promised that cartel members will be prosecuted "to the fullest extent of the law." According to her, US President Donald Trump "made it clear that cartels are terrorist groups," so the Ministry of Justice intends to "destroy them."
