International cooperation continues between the two countries as President Trump’s administration continues to address crime.
The Security Cabinet of Mexico agreed to send 37 fugitives, who face a wide range of U.S. federal charges, from narcoterrorism to human smuggling, to the United States. This is the third time Mexico has used its recently enacted National Security Law to transfer detainees to the U.S.
“These 37 cartel members – including terrorists from the Sinaloa Cartel, CJNG, and others – will now pay for their crimes against the American people on American soil,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “We are grateful for this collaboration with our international partners and will deliver swift, comprehensive justice for members of Foreign Terrorist Organizations who have spent years preying on the American people.“
Mexican Security Minister Omar Garcia Harfuch said that the U.S. Department of Justice requested that death penalties not be carried out and that detainees were subsequently flown to Washington, D.C., Houston, New York, Pennsylvania, San Antonio, and San Diego. The total number of alleged cartel members transferred from Mexico to the United States is now 92.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Attorney General Bondi as she oversees the legal action taken against the Mexican detainees.
- For Justice Department officials to have wisdom regarding the prosecution of the cartel members.
- For the president and his advisors as they collaborate with foreign leaders on addressing cartel networks.
