U.S.–Mexico Cartel Enforcement

Mexico transferred 37 alleged cartel members to the U.S. — the third such transfer in less than a year, bringing the total sent to 92 — including suspects tied to the Sinaloa, Beltrán‑Leyva, Jalisco New Generation and Northeast cartels and María del Rosario Navarro Sánchez, who faces U.S. charges for allegedly providing material support to a terrorist organization; Mexican Security Minister Omar García Harfuch called them “high‑impact criminals.” President Claudia Sheinbaum said the move was made at the request of the U.S. Justice Department but was a sovereign decision by Mexico’s National Security Council to protect national security, a step the U.S. DOJ praised as “important,” while analysts say such transfers reflect growing pressure from the Trump administration.
