Mexico City - Mexican authorities have secretly handed over nearly 100 members of a drug cartel syndicate to the United States to be tried there in recent years, a New York Post report said.
As reported by ANTARA from Sputnik, the daily reported that members of the cartel were handed over to the US after President Donald Trump officially designated the Mexican cartel group as a foreign terrorist organization and pressured the Mexican government to cooperate on the matter.
Since February 2025, the Mexican military has handed over 92 perpetrators of crimes to the US in three waves.
One of the individuals handed over to the US was the brother of the leader of the Jalisco New Generation cartel, Ruben Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, better known as "El Mencho".
On February 22, the Mexican Ministry of Defense announced the arrest operation of "El Mencho", who later died from the injuries he suffered while being taken to Mexico City.
The operation sparked massive unrest involving car burnings, road blockades, and attacks on law enforcement in dozens of cities in Mexico.
