US EditionMexico's President Says It Was 'Sovereign Decision' to Send Cartel Members to US
Mexico has transferred 92 alleged cartel members to the U.S., including 37 this week, as part of a sovereign decision aimed at national security, officials said.
- On Wednesday, President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico sent 37 cartel members to the United States at the U.S. Justice Department's request as a sovereign decision by Mexico's National Security Council.
- Over the past year, Mexico's government has sent 92 people to the U.S., including alleged cartel members, in a pattern of transfers.
- Among the transfers on Tuesday were alleged members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and Sinaloa Cartel, and the U.S. Justice Department said at least one, Armando Gómez Núñez, was indicted.
- The U.S. Justice Department said the transfer was an important step benefiting Mexico and the United States, while U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi called it a landmark achievement in the Trump administration's anti-cartel mission.
- Observers note transfers have served as a pressure valve as Mexico seeks to offset U.S. President Donald Trump's threats and rising tensions after a U.S. operation in Venezuela targeting Nicolás Maduro.

Mexico's president says it was 'sovereign decision' to send cartel members to US
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says that her government sent 37 cartel members to the United States at the request of the U.S. Justice Department.
President Claudia Sheinbaum explained that the transfer of 37 priority objectives to the United States responds to a national security strategy and not to external pressures, always prioritizing Mexico’s sovereignty. The transfer of 37 prisoners to the United States was a sovereign decision: Sheinbaum first appeared on Contralínea.
Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has rejected the fact that the extradition of 37 people to the United States in recent hours responds to pressure from Washington, at a time when the White House has raised the tone about its fight against cartels, and has argued that it is a "sovereign decision."
