Mexican President Demands U.S. Explain Deals With 'Terrorist' Cartel Figures Amid Extradition Push for 'El Mini Lic'

  • Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly questioned the U.S. Government on May 29, 2025, regarding plea deals with cartel member Dámaso López Serrano, known as El Mini Lic.
  • Sheinbaum raised this issue after the U.S. Recently designated the Sinaloa Cartel as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and labelled some cartels as terrorists while reportedly not explaining the plea agreements.
  • López Serrano was arrested in 2017 for drug trafficking, spent five years in U.S. Prison, cooperated with authorities, was re-arrested in December 2024, and faces extradition to Mexico for charges including the suspected 2017 murder of journalist Javier Valdez.
  • Sheinbaum highlighted the need for an explanation regarding why agreements have been made in certain situations, pointing out the inconsistency with the U.S. Stance of not negotiating with groups designated as terrorists.
  • Sheinbaum's government plans to persist in requesting the extradition of López Serrano and other prominent traffickers held in the U.S., seeking their prosecution in Mexico as part of efforts to curb organized crime violence.
