Mexico transfers alleged cartel figures to U.S. custody

Mexican officials said 26 suspects were extradited at Washington’s request. They stressed the move was unrelated to tariff talks and aimed at preventing criminal coordination from prisons. U.S. prosecutors prepared to pursue cases spanning trafficking and money-laundering charges. The transfers highlighted closer security cooperation despite trade tensions. Border-state lawmakers praised the action as a win for public safety. Rights groups urged vigilance over due-process protections.
