Mexico sent Lord drugs Rafael Caro QuinteroAsking for the murder of US agent Dea in 1985, to the United States with 28 other prisoners requested by the US government, two sources confirmed by CBS News on Thursday.
The Mexican government has confirmed the transfer of UA statementsaying, “They are sought after their relationships with criminal drug trafficking organizations, among other crimes.”
The Mexican government did not reveal the identity of every person extradited, but added that the transfers were conducted “under institutional protocols with due respect for their fundamental rights.”

Caro Quintero walked freely in 2013 after 28 years in prison when the court reset his 40-year sentence for the 1985 Camarena “Kikija” 1985 “Kikija” Drug Agent of Drug Agent Enrique. The brutal murder marked the low point of the US-Mexico relationship. Caro Quintero, former Cartel Guadalajara leader, has since returned to the drug store and released bloody fights for lawns in the border state of northern Mexico Sonor, until Mexican forces arrested him in 2022.
In January, a non -profit group representing the Camaren family sent a letter to the White House, urging Trump’s administration to renew the long -standing US demands for Mexico to extradite Caro Quintero, according to a copy of the letter assigned by Associated Press to a person familiar with the scope of the family.
“His return to the United States would give families a lot needed to close and serve the best interests of justice,” the letter said.
The United States asked for extradition to Caro Quintero shortly after his arrest in 2022. But the request remained stuck in the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs for unknown reasons as Sheinbaum’s predecessor and political mentor, Andrés Manuel Lopez ObradorShe seriously reduced Mexican cooperation with Dea to protest against the secret American operations of the implementation of the law in Mexico, aimed at high political and military officials.
“If they send it to the US out of formal extradition, and if Mexico has not set restrictions, then it can be prosecuted for everything they want now,” according to Bonnie Klappper, a former state prosecutor of a narcotics in Brooklyn, who is familiar with the case.
Transmission comes as the highest Mexican officials in Washington, DC, trying to take away the threat of Trump administration Imposing 25% tariff on all Mexican imports next week.
Mr. Trump said on Thursday that he intended to move forward with sanctions, writing Truth social That “the drug is still poured into our country from Mexico and Canada to very high and unacceptable levels.”
In exchange for tariff delay, Trump insisted that Mexico pierced American-Mexico limit, cartels and production of fantanilaDespite significant urine of migration and overdose over the last year. Removal may indicate that negotiations are moving as the tariff deadline approaches.
The removal of the Trevisto Morales brothers also indicates the end of a long process that began after the arrest of 2013 Miguel Treviño Morales and, two years later, his brother Omar. The process wounded so many years that the then Mexican Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero described the backlogs as “truly shameful.”
The Trevisto Morales family, accused by the US authorities of taking a violent northeast cartel from prison, have been waiting for charges of participating in a criminal organization, drug trade, fiery weapons and money laundry in the United States.
