Mexico deports 29 drug cartel figures to the U.S. as officials meet with Trump team

The unprecedented show of security cooperation comes as the Trump administration has threatened to impose 25% tariffs on all Mexican imports starting Tuesday.

More than two dozen drug cartel suspects from Mexico — including the man charged in the 1985 slaying of a U.S. drug agent — are in U.S. custody after Mexican officials agreed to send them to the United States, four sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
The 29 people accused of violence and drug trafficking were deported as the Trump administration has turned up pressure on Mexico to curb illegal immigration, cartel activity and fentanyl production with a promised 25% tariff on all Mexican imports set to start next week.

“For those of us who have investigated Mexican cartels for many generations, this is truly an historical moment," said Ray Donovan, the former chief of operations at the Drug Enforcement Administration. "We have never seen this many sent from Mexico to the U.S. in one day.”
Among those deported by Mexico is Rafael Caro Quintero, who U.S. officials believe is responsible for the 1985 murder of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena and others.
Caro Quintero has been on the DEA's most-wanted fugitives list for four decades. "Today we can proudly say he has arrived in the United States where justice will be served,” acting DEA Administrator Derek S. Maltz said. 
The suspects sent to the United States included members of five of the six Mexican organized crime groups the Trump administration designated this month as “foreign terrorist organizations.”
Those sent to the United States on Thursday were taken from prisons across Mexico to board planes at an airport north of Mexico City that took them to eight U.S. cities, according to the Mexican government.
Among them were two leaders of the now-defunct Los Zetas cartel, Mexicans Miguel Treviño Morales and his brother Omar Treviño Morales, known as Z-40 and Z-42. U.S. authorities have accused the brothers of running the successor Northeast Cartel from prison.
The removal of the Treviño Morales brothers marks the end of a long process that began after the capture in 2013 of Miguel and two years later of his brother Omar. Mexican Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero had described the delay as “truly shameful.”
