Mexico sends 37 accused drug gang members to the US
Mexico has extradited 37 individuals accused of being members of a notorious drug gang to the United States. The suspects, who are believed to be linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, were sent across the border to face charges in American courts.
The transfer took place on Tuesday, August 24, 2021, with Mexican authorities handing over the accused individuals to US law enforcement at the border crossing in Laredo, Texas. Among those extradited are several high-ranking members of the cartel, including alleged leaders and key operatives.
According to Mexican officials, the move was part of a joint effort between the two countries to combat organized crime and ensure that those involved in illegal activities face justice. The extradition process was carried out following extradition requests issued by US authorities, who have been working closely with their Mexican counterparts to dismantle the cartel’s operations.
The Jalisco New Generation Cartel is known for its involvement in drug trafficking, as well as other criminal activities such as extortion, kidnapping, and violence. The group has been a significant target for both Mexican and US law enforcement agencies in recent years, as they seek to disrupt its operations and stem the flow of illicit drugs into the United States.
The extradition of these 37 individuals is seen as a significant development in the ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking and organized crime in the region. Both Mexico and the United States have reaffirmed their commitment to working together to address the shared challenges posed by transnational criminal organizations.
The accused individuals are now in the custody of US authorities, where they will face trial for their alleged involvement in criminal activities linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The extradition marks a step forward in the cooperation between the two countries in their fight against drug trafficking and organized crime.
