“Mexico has sent 26 inmates suspected of playing high-profile roles in some of the country’s most powerful drug cartels to the US, the second transfer of its kind this year. US officials said the individuals extradited included ‘key operatives’ of major drugs gangs, and have been charged with violent offences or links to organised crime in American courts. … Mexican officials said they had agreed the inmates could be sent to the US as long as none were considered eligible for the death penalty, a condition successive governments have insisted on when considering extraditions.” (08/12/25)
