Mexico extraditioned 29 Drug Cartel The President’s Imminent Commitment to Members of the United States Donald Trump Amid Trump’s looming pledge, severe tariffs are imposed on Mexican imports.
People extraditioned on Thursday include Rafael Caro Quintea Enrique “Kiki” Camarena.
“Cartel members … include one of the most evil cartel bosses in the world,” the White House said in a statement.
In the same statement, the White House said Trump “instructed the Justice Department and the State Department to achieve this goal, and Attorney General (PAM) Bondy and Secretary of State (Marco) Rubio did a great job in completing the work.
“It’s really a historical moment for those who have been investigating Mexican cartels over multiple generations,” said Ray Donovan, former head of operations at DEA.
“We have never seen many people sent to the United States this day from Mexico,” Donovan said.
Trump’s promise is followed by extradition tariff If these countries do not take steps to stop the process of deadly opioid fentanyl and other narcotics
Those tariffs have been suspended until next week after both Mexico and Canada took steps to address Trump’s concerns.
But whether Trump will keep his promise and impose tariffs, both Mexico and Canada are trying to convince the Trump administration not to do so.
The extraditions also occurred on the same day Rubio, Bondi and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met in Washington, D.C., which included senior Mexican security officials from Foreign Secretary Juan Ramon de la Fuente.
Mexico extradited other cartel leaders and managers in the United States, including murder, money laundering, extortion and drug trafficking, the Justice Department said.
The extraditioned people are members of the cartels recently designated as foreign terrorist organizations, including the Sinaloa Cartel, the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel, the Northeast cartel, the New Mimoca family and the Gulf of Mexico cartel.
“The defendants collectively claim to be responsible for importing large amounts of poisons into the United States, including cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl and heroin, and related violence,” the Justice Department said in a statement.
“Secret Rubio appreciates Mexico’s actions to protect our common borders, including the deployment of 10,000 National Guard units, as well as major epilepsy seizures on fentanyl and its precursor chemicals, and the expulsion of 29 major cartels (29 major cartels) on their crime trials,” a State Department spokesman said in a statement on Thursday’s meeting with Mexican officials.
“Both sides agreed to the importance of ensuring continued action beyond the meeting and recommended implementation timetables and counterattacks to target clear goals and sustainable outcomes,” the spokesperson said.
