Mexico sent 26 alleged cartel figures to face justice in the United States because the Trump administration requested them and Mexico did not want them to continue running their illicit businesses from Mexican prisons,

The move marks the second time Mexico extradites cartel members to the US, in an effort to curb the threat of US tariffs on its imports.View on euronews
