Mexico on Tuesday agreed to send 26 of its high-ranking cartel members, who are wanted by the United States, over to its neighbor as part of a major deal with the Trump administration amid the U.S. crackdown on drug smuggling.
The Trump administration promised not to seek the death penalty for any of the cartel members, according to the Associated Press. It comes after the country sent 30 other highly-sought drug cartel members to the United States in February.
The new cartel members include Abigael González Valencia, a leader of the group “Los Cuinis,” which is closely aligned with the notorious cartel, Jalisco New Generation. Another person is wanted for the 2008 killing of a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy.
Mexico confirmed to the Associated Press that the 26 defendants were transferred to the United States, but did not identify the individuals. However, a press briefing on the matter is scheduled for Wednesday.
