The Government of Claudia Sheinbaum has delivered Washington on Tuesday to another 26 criminals linked to drug trafficking, including members of the Sinaloa poster, the Jalisco Nueva Generación poster (CJNG) and Los Zetas, as reported by the governments of Mexico and the United States. The names of the prisoners delivered to the administration of Donald Trump were released by the US Department of Justice, in contrast to the Mexican authorities, who have kept a sepulchral silence around the identity of the capos. The list stands out Abigael González Valencia, The Cuiniright and brother -in -law of the founder of the CJNG, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, The Mencho. Also serving Gómez, The tutawho was the leader of the former powerful poster Los Caballeros Templar, as well as Juan Carlos Félix Gastélum, The Chavo Félixsonmael son -in -law May Zambada, founder of the Sinaloa cartel, which is also in the hands of Washington.
The Prosecutor’s Office and the Secretariat of Security of Mexico have assured in a statement that the bosses, admitted to various prisons, dragged an extradition order and “represented a permanent risk of public safety.” In February, the Mexican government gave US to 29 drug traffickers through an ingenious legal scaffolding with which it managed to border the bone extradition process. That maneuver sat a precedent. Everything indicates that this time the scheme has been replicated, a few days after Mexico and Washington reached an agreement to relieve Trump’s tariff war.
The Sheinbaum government has indicated that the subjects sent to the United States “were required for their links with criminal organizations for drug trafficking and other crimes.” The Embassy of the North American country, meanwhile, has added that the bosses “face serious criminal charges in US federal courts, including drug trafficking, organized crime, money laundering and violent crimes.” The Prosecutor’s Office and the Secretariat of Security of Mexico has detailed that the US Department of Justice “promised not to request the death penalty for the inmates in their country,” in tune with the turn in Trump’s hard policy against Mexican drug traffickers, to which his administration has shown clemency to pray them to accept guilty agreements.
The dependencies have explained that “the custody, transfer and formal delivery” of the capos has been made based on the Constitution and the National Security Law, already express request of the US Department of Justice, the same legal argument on which the February operation was based. The holders of the Prosecutor’s Office and the Ministry of Security, Alejandro Gertz and Omar García Harfuch, will give a conference tomorrow to inform about this new operation.
Legendary and infamous capos such as Rafael Caro Quintero, leader of the Guadalajara poster and murderer of the Agent of Enrique Kiki Camarena; The former leaders of the Los Zetas poster, Miguel Ángel and Omar Treviño Morales, known as Z-40 and Z-42, and Antonio Oseguera Cervantes, Tony Montanamain financial operator of the CJNG and brother of the founder of that criminal organization, were among the drug traffickers sent to Washington last February. At that time, the Mexican government became entangled in the explanation of the legal basis on which the operation was supported. There was talk of transfer, expulsion, delivery and shipping.
The truth is that it was not a typical extradition, that is, according to the law. Many of the bosses had managed to corrupt his appearance for years before US justice, and that reality led Mexican authorities to seek an alternative. After that unprecedented operation, prosecutor Gertz explained that it had been carried out based on the National Security Law and the constitutional article that empowers the head of the Executive, Claudia Sheinbaum, to preserve it.
The American embassy in Mexico has stressed that this new transfer of criminals “represents another significant milestone in the collaboration between the forces of the public order of the United States and Mexico, as well as in the alliance between the presidents Trump and Sheinbaum.” “We are deeply grateful to President Sheinbaum and her administration for demonstrating determination against organized crime,” said Ambassador Ronald Johnson. “This transfer is another example than possible when two governments bind against violence and impunity,” he added.
