Mexico extradited 29 alleged drug traffickers to the #UnitedStates, reportedly including Rafael Caro Quintero, a prized target long sought for killing a US #DEA agent. The dramatic gesture occurred just days before Trump planned to impose crushing economic sanctions in retaliation for Mexico’s failure to stop the flow of #narcotics over the border.

The govt did not ID those extradited. But the AP & Mexican newspaper Milenio, citing unidentified ofcls, said they included Caro Quintero, who was long the #DEA’s most-wanted man. He was accused of killing DEA agent Kiki Camarena in Mexico in 1985. Caro Quintero was freed from a Mexican prison on a technicality in 2013, & arrested again in 2022.
