Mexico states that 29 suspected drug dealers, including prominent cartel members, have been disclosed to the United States.
Among them are several leaders and security managers from five of the six Mexican crime cartels like Donald Trump recently terrorized.
The drug baron Rafael Caro Quintero, who was behind the killing of an American drug police in 1985, is among the extraditions, according to Mexican sources of government.
The extradition takes place at the same time as Mexico is trying to reach an agreement with the United States to defend himself from President Donald Trump’s threat of penalty of 25 percent, which may be introduced next week.
