Other prominent figures have ties to the Sinaloa Cartel and other violent drug trafficking groups.<\/p>\n<p>The transfers are a milestone for the Trump administration, which has made dismantling dangerous drug cartels a key Justice Department priority. It&#8217;s the second time in months that Mexico has expelled cartel figures accused of narcotics smuggling, murder and other crimes amid mounting pressure from the Trump administration to curb the flow of drugs onto American streets.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These 26 men have all played a role in bringing violence and drugs to American shores \u2014 under this Department of Justice, they will face severe consequences for their crimes against this country,&#8221; Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. &#8220;We are grateful to Mexico&#8217;s National Security team for their collaboration in this matter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In February, President Trump <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/feds-use-new-terrorism-designation-to-charge-mexican-cartel-member\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">signed an executive order<\/a><\/span> designating CJNG, Sinaloa and six other cartels \u2014 Tren de Aragua, Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), C\u00e1rtel del Noreste (formerly Los Zetas), La Nueva Familia Michoacana, C\u00e1rtel de Golfo (Gulf Cartel), and C\u00e1rteles Unidos \u2014 as foreign terrorist organizations. <\/p>\n<p>The cartel figures were put on planes to the U.S. after the Justice Department <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/el-mayo-ismael-zambada-rafael-caro-quintero-no-death-penalty\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">agreed not to seek the death penalty<\/a><\/span> against any of the defendants or against any cartel leaders and members sent to the U.S. in February. <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/mexico-extradites-drug-traffickers-us-rafael-caro-quintero\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">That transfer was of 29 cartel figures<\/a><\/span>, including drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero, who was behind the killing of a U.S. DEA agent in 1985.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This transfer is yet another example of what is possible when two governments stand united against violence and impunity,&#8221; U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson said in a statement. &#8220;These fugitives will now face justice in U.S. courts, and the citizens of both of our nations will be safer from these common enemies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The February transfers came as Mexican officials were trying to head off the Trump administration&#8217;s threat of imposing tariffs on Mexican imports. <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-tariff-mexico-deadline-extended-90-days-august-1\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Late last month<\/a><\/span>, President Trump spoke with Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum and agreed to put off threatened 30% tariffs for another 90 days to allow for negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Sheinbaum has shown a willingness to cooperate more on security than her predecessor, specifically being more aggressive in pursuit of Mexico&#8217;s cartels. But she has drawn a clear line when it comes to Mexico&#8217;s sovereignty, rejecting suggestions by Mr. Trump and others of intervention by the U.S. military.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, a source familiar with the matter <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-tells-military-to-target-latin-american-drug-cartels-source-says\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">confirmed to CBS News<\/a><\/span> that Mr. Trump directed the military to target drug cartels in Latin America. <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/mexico-president-no-invasion-trump-targeting-cartels-military-force\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Sheinbaum responded<\/a><\/span> Friday by saying there would be &#8220;no invasion of Mexico.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Also included in the group expelled Tuesday was Servando G\u00f3mez Martinez, also known as &#8220;La Tuta,&#8221; a former school teacher who became one of Mexico&#8217;s most-wanted drug lords as head of the Knights Templar cartel.
