Mexico on Thursday agreed to send approximately 30 drug cartel officials to the United States that are wanted by American authorities, including former Sinaloa cartel founding member Rafael Caro Quintero, and former Zetas cartel leader Miguel Ángel Treviño Morales.
The United States has been trying to secure Quintero's arrest for over 40 years, after he was convicted in Mexico of having plotted the 1985 murder of Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique Camarena, per the New York Times.
Treviño is considered one of Mexico's most violent cartel operatives, and has been wanted by the United States since 2013. He is currently facing overlapping drug charges in federal courts in Texas.

Amazing what not taking “no” for an answer will do. That and putting your boot to the face of your tormentors.
Good. Now hopefully we don’t have a revolving door judge that turns them loose next week.
I hope Trump trans-ships them straight to the Terrorism Confinement Center (Spanish: Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo, abbreviated CECOT) in Tecoluca, El Salvador. The cartels were declared terrorist organizations a few days ago, so they should be eligible for CECOT. You go into CECOT, but you don’t come out.
Screw that, send them to Gitmo, it was set up to keep and Try Terrorists
The next Biden type of POTUS would let them out of Gitmo. They would NEVER leave CECOT.
Drug cartel ‘officials’? Hmmmmmmm. Odd phrasing.
“cartel officials”
Sort of like
“Undocumented Pharmacist”
or
“Austere Religious Scholar”
I might be okay with taxpayer funded sex changes for all of them.
