Despite the tough rhetoric coming from Mexico lately, the Sheinbaum administration itself seems more than willing to placate an America at war with the drug cartels. Mexico’s Security Minister Omar Garcia Harfuch announced the extradition of 37 high ranking and dangerous cartel members that “represented a real threat to the country’s (Mexico) security.” This bring the total number of extradited cartel members to 92.
Mexico’s security minister said Tuesday that it had sent another 37 members of Mexican drug cartels to the United States, as the Trump administration ratchets up pressure on governments to crack down on criminal networks it says are smuggling drugs across the border.

Mexico’s security minister said Tuesday that it had sent another 37 members of Mexican drug cartels to the United States, as the Trump administration ratchets up pressure on governments to crack down on criminal networks it says are smuggling drugs across the border.
Mexican Security Minister Omar García Harfuch wrote in a social media post on X that the people transferred were “high impact criminals” that “represented a real threat to the country’s security.”
It is the third time in less than one year that Mexico has sent detained cartel members to the U.S. as the country attempts to offset mounting threats by U.S. President Donald Trump. García Harfuch said the government has sent 92 people in total.
