Mexico has quietly shipped nearly 100 suspected cartel drug traffickers to the US to stand trial charges after President Trump branded the groups foreign terrorist organizations last year — and pressured the Mexican government to cooperate.

The suspects include the brother of Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes — the brutal Jalisco New Generation cartel (CJNG) leader who was killed by the Mexican army on Sunday.

The Justice Department said many of the 92 defendants released to the Americans had US extradition requests that were not honored during the Biden administration.

This should be major national news that is highly covered as a massive triumph.

But it will be given scant attention like it is just any other news story, if it is covered at all, and certainly not reported as something this a breakthrough for the Trump Administration.

The Mexican government elected to round up the dozens of wanted criminals after the Trump administration made clear it was taking these matters more seriously, the DOJ said.

elected to round up...................

The US Marshals Service, which usually handles retrieval of cross-border crime suspects, praised Trump and Bondi for their efforts in getting Mexico to turn over the fugitives.

“Leadership like President Trump’s and Attorney General Bondi’s to work diligently to bring all of these wanted criminals back to the United States reinforces their commitment to getting justice for their victims,” said USMS Director Gadyaces S. Serralta.

“This sends a very clear message; justice does not stop at borders.”

And Keith Olberman just made savage remarks about the Olympics winning male hockey team. Hmm. Does that mean Keithy is a customer of the cartels?

[shelterguy]

The liberal response will be....Trump couldn’t find enough brown people to arrest in the USA so he went to Mexico to get some more. Plus....this is just a distraction from the Epstein thing.

That is also the reaction of crazies on our side who are into all things Epstein

I don’t think that the American President is getting voluntary help from the “President” of Mexico.

Yeah, the problem with that comment is... they’re not really ‘on our side’.

“””That is also the reaction of crazies on our side who are into all things Epstein””””

When they are being brainwashed by whatever conspiracy kook they listen to it seems to remove all their reasoning abilities. I have asked them some very simple questions and they always disappear.

[rlmorel]

LOL, I nearly posted the same thing-glad I read the next post!

[Prince of Space]

I wonder how the left will spin this good news, if they talk about it at all.

[jmacusa]

I got the same reaction from the 9/11 conspiracy crowd that The World Trade Center was not destroyed in a ''controlled explosion''( there's no such thing.) and that if you were trying to destroy the Trade center with explosives you'd be there still and the only thing you would be accomplishing would be blowing holes in the sheetrock and scaring the pigeons. It was the construction of the buildings(trusses) and high intense heat that bought down the buildings. The moment you put heat to steel you're changing it. None of them ever wanted to hear that. Like a wiseman once said "A man will never learn what he thinks he already knows''.

Outstanding work by Trump on this. I’m sure it required twisted a lot of strong arms to make it happen.

[dfwgator]

Sounds like Trump and Scheinbaum have figured out how to work together quietly behind the scenes. Publicly they may snipe at each other, but that’s probably more Kabuki Theater. Trump also got along with Obrador.

I remember them saying jet fuel can’t just start on fire like that. Apparently they never saw a Ford Pinto get rear ended. ( not jet fuel but same premise)

[Sarah Barracuda]

The commie media will NEVER report ANYTHING positive that Trump does because they hate him and honestly, they love the cartels, many are in bed with them

[Sarah Barracuda]

Maybe they made a deal, Trump told her he would ease tariffs and in return she give him cartel members

Good deal, I say. That’s what the tariffs are for, leverage to get what you really want.

Yep, we certainly have our own lunatic fringe. The difference is that ours are a fringe group, while the left is populated only with lunatics. Ours also believe that Israel, not Islam, is the problem in the Middle East, that we should NEVER use military force beyond our borders, and are increasingly sliding down the Slip ‘n Slide to total madness that is paved with “chemtrails”, a flat Earth, and “fake” moon landings.
