Mexico extraditions 29 drug traffickers to the United States, including cartel leader Rafael Caro Quintero
Mexico has sent a poison lord Rafael Caro QuinteroMexican government officials and other sources confirmed Thursday that in 1985, he killed the U.S. DEA agents in 1985 and killed the U.S. 28 prisoners requested by the U.S. government.
The official asked to be anonymous because they were not authorized to discuss the case, and he confirmed the removal of Caro Quintero. Another person familiar with the Mexican behavior also confirmed the evacuation of the anonymous situation because they were unable to discuss sensitive diplomatic negotiations.
The Mexican government confirmed the transfer in a statement, saying: “They were wanted for their connections with criminal organizations and other crimes.”
The Mexican government did not disclose the identity of each extraditionee, but added that the transfer was “under the institutional agreement, with appropriate respect for their fundamental rights”.
There are also two leaders of Mexican Los Zetas cartel Miguel Treviño Morales And his brother Omar Treviño MoralesThe official confirmed that it is known as the Z-40 and the Z-42.
The drug lord of Mexico visited Washington from Mexico’s Foreign Minister Juan Lamond de La Fuente and other top economic and military officials. The meeting is the latest negotiations with the U.S. on trade and security relations, and has undergone a radical transformation since President Trump took office.
Transfers are from senior Mexican officials in Washington, D.C., trying to get rid of the Trump administration’s threat A 25% tariff on all Mexican imports next week.
Mr Trump said on Thursday that he intends to continue sanctions, writing: “Drugs are still pouring into our country at high and unacceptable levels in Mexico and Canada.”
In exchange for delays in tariffs, Trump insists Mexico hits the United States-Mexico Boundaries, cartels and fentanyl productiondespite a significant decline in migration and overdose in the past year. The removal may indicate that negotiations are underway as the tariff deadline approaches.
Caro Quintero walked freely in 2013 after 28 years in prison, when the court sentenced 40 years in prison for the kidnapping and killing of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Enrique Kiki” Camarena in 1985. The brutal murder marks a low point in U.S.-Mexico relations.
Caro Quintero, former leader of the Guadalajara Cartel, has since returned to drug trafficking and released bloody turf battles in Sonora, the northern border of Mexico until it was arrested by Mexican troops in 2022.
The removal of the Treviño Morales brothers also marks the end of a long process that began with the captives of Miguel Treviño Morales in 2013, and two years later, his brother Omar. This process has been so many years that at the time, Mexico’s Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero described the lag as “really shameful.”
The Treviño Morales family is accused of running violent Northeastern Cartel from prison, who is still in the United States to participate in criminal organizations, drug trafficking, gun crimes and money laundering.
