Mexico Extradites Notorious Drug Lord and 28 Other Cartel Members to the U.S.
In a significant move against organized crime, Mexico has extradited drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, along with 28 other high-ranking cartel members, to the United States. This historic extradition comes amid pressure from U.S. officials and looming tariffs proposed by the Trump administration. Caro Quintero, who has been linked to the murder of DEA agent Kiki Camarena in 1985, is among those facing serious charges in U.S. courts. As these individuals are processed in U.S. custody, the extradition aims to strengthen bilateral efforts to combat drug trafficking and organized crime.
