Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, clarified that the transfer of 26 alleged cartel members to the United States was not part of any agreement with Washington but a reflection of Mexico's security priorities. This action follows a similar transfer in February when 29 cartel members were sent to the U.S. Analysts argue that these transfers are more about pacifying Donald Trump than national security. Sheinbaum asserted that the decisions made were designed for the safety of Mexico and unrelated to ongoing security negotiations with the U.S.
Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has denied that the transfer of 26 alleged cartel members to the United States was part of any kind of deal with Washington.
The expulsion marked the second time Mexico had sent top criminals to the US this year, following a previous handover of 29 cartel members in February.
Despite Sheinbaum's claims, analysts suggest the transfers are aimed at appeasing Donald Trump, who has prioritized action against drug cartels in his policies.
Sheinbaum emphasized that the decision to extradite was for the safety of Mexico, asserting that it did not relate to new security agreements with the US.
