This is news in Mexico, but not finding any mention in English publications.
On Monday, Mexico extradited 29 cartel bosses to the US, including Rafael Caro Quintero, involved in the killing of DEA agent Enrique Camareno in 1985 and top Zeta bosses Oscar Omar Treviño Morales, and Miguel Angel Treviño Morales. All those extradited were already incarcerated in Mexican prisons.
It is being reported here that the US and Mexico have agreed in a meeting to jointly attack the cartel power and fentanyl. I don’t know why this isn’t big news in the US, it’s a sign that Mexico wants to deal with the problem.

Gee that was quick......................
Gitmo and make Mexico pay for it.
And for what they’ve been doing?,,,,,, FIRING SQUADS! ...imho
Well, we now have the names of the ones who could not come up with enough $$ to satisfy Mexico’s politicos.
When you have money, Mexican prisons are about as cushy as it gets.
Did a quick search: WSJ, ABC, Fox and AP all have the story.
I doubt their prison life in Mexico was that bad. They still had power.
Interesting no SInoloa cartel.
Gitmo is gearing up for business.
Now they can be represented by the ACLU, and if they claim to be female, they can be moved to a women’s prison.
Has this made the ap wire yet?
Yes
Yeah that was an attempt at a serious dig on the entire MSNBC.
I stopped doing Fox in 2005. I cant believe that! Its such a good view from out here. I encourage everyone to take the leap, cut the cable!
You may be right, but this smells of a Mexican turf war.
The Mexican government has been a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the cartels for years. Someone near the top has decided
to eliminate some of the competition. Thus, 29 high-ranking
cartel leaders mysteriously find their way into the joke
that is the Mexican legal system and onto a one-way flight
to Florida. I think that this is a consolidation move, not
a serious attempt to reign in the cartels. When the dust settles,
there will be a few less cartel gangs and a lot more power
centralized in the survivors.
Just my 2 cents.
Big mistake bringing them to the US..as soon as they step off the plane, they will be eligible for US Constitutional due process protections. They should not be let off the plane and be immediately flown to Gitmo and interrogated and tried there. Just as was done to the Al Qaeda terrorists, there was a reason why they were not tried in the US.
The tariffs will break Mexico, and they know it, so cooperation is coming in abundance. They bought some time with this handover of cartel bosses and henchmen.
Predicting that before kinetic warfare is ultimately unleashed, I would expect to see all other tactics/ strategies utilized.
The US Treasury will pursue the cartel’s finances, which have deep tentacles into US banking systems and are interconnected to global banking systems. Pressuring allies to act against the cartels will get results offshore.
Ultimately, the cartels will either self-regulate or reap annihilation.
Any plots or imminent threats discovered/ underway will be on the receiving end of lethal force first.
Expect total devastation for the first unlucky cartel to win the prize for being made an example of by foolishly catching the attention of President Trump’s hunter teams.
Why do we want them? Bury them in Mexico.
