Mexico is handing over 26 top cartel leaders to the United States this
week in a deal with the Trump administration.
The cartel figures were scheduled to fly to the U.S. on Tuesday.
"Today is the latest example of the Trump administration's historic
efforts to dismantle cartels and foreign terrorist organizations,"
Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News Digital. "These 26 men have all played a role in bringing violence and drugs to American shores -- under
this Department of Justice, they will face severe consequences for their crimes against this country. We are grateful to President Sheinbaum and
the Mexican government for their collaboration in this matter."
Abigael Gonz|ilez Valencia, a leader of the "Los Cuinis," cartel, which
is aligned with the notorious Jalisco New Generation cartel (CJNG) and
Roberto Salazar, who is accused of participating in the 2008 killing of
a Los Angeles sheriffrCOs deputy, are among those being handed over to the U.S.
The Trump administration has classified the CJNG as a terrorist
organization.
MexicorCOs Attorney GeneralrCOs Office and Security Ministry confirmed the
men were being handed over, saying the deal was made after the U.S.
Justice Department said it wouldnrCOt seek the death penalty for any of
the men.
The deal comes amid the Trump administrationrCOs focus on border security
and attempt to crack down on Mexican cartels that send drugs across the border.
"President TrumprCOs top priority is protecting the homeland, which is why
he took the bold step to designate several cartels and gangs as foreign terrorist organizations," deputy White House press secretary Anna Kelly previously said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
President Donald Trump has also reportedly secretly authorized U.S.
military force against cartels in Latin America designated by the U.S.
as terrorist organizations, which would allow U.S. forces to engage with
them.
It also comes ahead of 25% tariffs on Mexican goods coming into the U.S. imposed by Trump.
Trump spoke with Sheinbaum, who has been more aggressive than the last president about going after cartels, and told her he would delay 30%
tariffs on the country for 90 days for negotiations.
Mexico also extradited 29 cartel leaders in February, including Rafael
Caro Quintero, who prosecutors say was behind the torture and murder of
a DEA agent in 1985.
