"Mexico has sent another 37 alleged members of Mexican criminal organisations to the United States, the country's security minister said, amid US President Donald Trump's threat of ground attacks against drug cartels in the region. The handover of alleged drug cartel members on Tuesday is the third major transfer to the US in the past year and brings the total number of suspects transferred to 92."
"Images posted by Mexican Security Minister Omar Garcia Harfuch on X showed rows of fully-armed Mexican security personnel lined up next to a plane, as several armoured vehicles, presumably transporting the suspects, arrived. With this transfer, 92 high-impact criminals have now been sent to the US during this administration, preventing them from generating violence in our country, Harfuch said on X."
Mexican authorities transferred 37 alleged members of criminal organisations to the United States, bringing the administration's total transfers to 92 high-impact suspects. Seven Mexican Armed Forces aircraft transported the detainees to Washington, Houston, New York, Pennsylvania, San Antonio and San Diego, accompanied by armed security and armoured vehicles. The transfers targeted individuals wanted by US authorities for alleged links to criminal organisations and considered public safety risks. The operation occurred amid heightened tensions with the United States and threats of unilateral action against cartels. Mexican authorities stated the transfers complied with National Security Law and secured US assurances against the death penalty.
