Mexico Transfers Imprisoned Cartel Members to U.S.
MEXICO CITY—Mexico expelled a group of imprisoned cartel members wanted by the U.S. in the midst of rising pressure from the Trump administration to dismantle the country's powerful drug organizations, people familiar with the situation said.
The group of alleged drug bosses sent to the U.S. on Tuesday was similar in size to a group of 29 inmates transferred to the U.S. in February. The group sent Tuesday included members of top criminal organizations facing drug charges in the U.S. who are being sent to locations including Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia, San Diego and New York, one of the people said.
