The extradition of Rafael Caro Quintero and 28 other drug cartel figures marks a significant moment in U.S.-Mexico relations and law enforcement efforts. This unprecedented handover comes as the Trump administration intensifies pressure on criminal organizations while threatening tariffs on Mexican imports. Notably, Caro Quintero was wanted for the 1985 murder of a DEA agent and had previously been released from prison in 2013. In response, U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi vowed to prosecute these individuals aggressively to uphold justice and support law enforcement's fight against drug cartels.
