Mexico extradited 29 prominent drug cartel figures to the United States, including noted drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero. This move demonstrates increased security cooperation amidst threats from the Trump Administration of imposing 25% tariffs on Mexican imports. The extradited individuals include important members of various Mexican organized crime groups, specifically those designated as foreign terrorist organizations. U.S. authorities plan to prosecute these individuals to combat violence associated with drug trafficking, emphasizing the commitment to law enforcement safety and justice.
Among those sent to the U.S. were members of five of the six Mexican organized crime groups designated by the Trump Administration as foreign terrorist organizations.
This unprecedented show of security cooperation comes as top Mexican officials are in Washington trying to head off the threat of imposing tariffs on Mexican imports.
