This Tuesday, the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) and the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) and the US Department of Justice reported that they transferred 26 people to the United States. Video has been published showing several of them being loaded onto a military plane under heavy guard.

Through an informational card, they announced that the 26 people, without revealing their names, had extradition orders and were wanted for their ties to criminal organizations for drug trafficking, among other crimes, and represented a permanent risk to public safety.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, August 13, the Security Cabinet will hold a press conference at 11:00 a.m. in the SSPC auditorium to provide details on the extradited individuals.
While no official announcement regarding the names of those extradited has taken place yet, several media sources are independently confirming names of those sent to the US. Journalist Oscar Balmen has mentioned confirmation of three names of the 26.

Omar Garcia Harfuch says the transfer was done under the National Security act, the same legal framework used in the 29 kingpins sent to the US in February, bypassing the formal extradition process.

However, Harfuch mentioned there was an agreement that the US would not seek the death penalty in any of these cases.

US Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson noted in a news release that among those transferred today were key operatives of the Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) and Sinaloa Cartels.
